reel handle pgrade wanted
Submitted by davey on Mon, 2011-01-10 18:57
well after one outing the handle on the finnor offshore 6500 is stuffed.
it was wobbling so bad it gave me a blister, when i took it apart i found the plastic (yes plastic not brass etc)sleeve between handle and spindle has snapped.
apparently the only fix is to get a local engineering shop to make a new handle
I have sent a letter to both finnor and jw to let them know of the issue but im not holding my breath for any reply.
question is,,,does anyone know who can fabricate or modify a handle to fit the reel,apart from the handle it seems like a decent bit of kit
cheers

Try anglers spot Willeton
Try anglers spot Willeton for the round knobs or search ebay for them, but you have to drill out the pin and install it yourself.
