New knob styles
New knob styles
Were the focus groups on recreational hallucenigenics with these new knob styles? Chef hats, no more Septon, $60 for a set of cork knobs to replace horrid, new Daiwas. Facepalm

Re: New knob styles
I assume you are referring to the new style grips for shimano and daiwa that are subpar.
The RCS knobs are top notch and can be had at a decent price for daiwa reels if you know where to look.
Shimano knobs have always been lacking to me. I prefer the older power grips over the new ones though.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: New knob styles
I've ordered some of those Septone rubber knobs off the FB Stradic Ci4+ to put onto my Curado DC - waiting for the other and see how they feel compared to the heavier 200 size platform grips that come on it. I think it may work out a bit better, otherwise may use the Sustain FG 2500 round EVA knobs if all else fails...
Ive been getting a few knobs from cheaper sources and being of two heads now that the standard run of boutique / high cost / not so glamorous named brand knobs aren't the only option out there for comfort and feel on a reel...

I think the "Ike" baitcaster has the same style, just a little bit smaller.hoohoorjoo wrote:^^^Those belong on a deep sea reel.^^^

Daiwa has those horrible paddle knobs that started from the Tatula and worked their way out.Johnny A wrote:Hogsticker2 wrote:Care to share some of whatever you have ?

Re: New knob styles
Hah, I love the Daiwa paddles! Comfortable and very grippy. I am slowly putting them on all my kayak reels as they are amazing for fishing with wet hands.
What I really want are slightly chunky rubberized cork knobs for Diawa handles, something like the stock 13 Fishing ones would be ideal.

Re: New knob styles
I think daiwa's newer high-grip knobs are my favorite. Not sexy, but damn comfy. I did like the septons on my old mg50's alot.
Re: New knob styles
No more Septon? Praise GOD! No more goo....... I love the shape and feel of the current Curado's grips though
