Zillion Type R Question

[medicpelle]

Some how the threads for the knob on my handle stripped and I cannot screw in the knob. I tried to tap it with out success. I am needing a replacement handle and looking for suggestions.

Daiwa has the RCS handles, Megabass has their CF handles, and ZPI makes a great swept handle as well. Lots of options in the 90mm range, some add some flare.

The Tackle Trap has the whole handle assembly in stock. Check it out.

You might just need to drill it a little deeper and use a longer screw (unless you've tried that already). This is, however, a very convenient reason to order a new, spiffy carbonfiber handle

No I did not try to tap deeper and use a longer screw however I might try that. I found the stock handle on Tackle Trap for $112.99

[adam lancia]

Yeah, that isn't a cheap handle to source. I'd try tapping deeper, drilling if need be. Worst case, you can pick up a newer Zillion handle for fairly cheap. You might even consider taking the handle to a machine shop to see if they can do something with it.

Thanks for the help guys. Figures that the most expensive handle is the one I have an issue with
