Zillion Type R Question
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.
I like TD-Z's

Re: Zillion Type R Question
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 handlemedicpelle wrote:Some how the threads for the knob on my handle stripped and I cannot screw in the knob.

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

Re: Zillion Type R Question
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.
