Only done the big wheel knobs. drt knobs and wheels of choice. 13 fishing cork knob. Cut cork off you only need silver shaft. Shove 13 shaft in drt knob. Transfer factory bearings to new drt knob and install. If factory knob has bushings, replace with bearings. Prodigy_Lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incomedrainer Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I'm sort of late to the party here but does anyone know if the drt flat knobs will fit directly onto the handle that comes with the 13 Fishing Concept A3 Gen 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPAZ Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Is this knob hack compatible with the Calform knobs? I recently purchased the knobs and caps only to find out it doesn't have the shaft. I'm new to this. Also, if someone has extra knobs or shafts to sell please let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesMoran Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Quick update for anyone looking… I picked up WCZ Flat Knobs and Mk-1 wheel caps, thinking I’d be able to find 13 knobs as donors for the sleeves. As of 2/2024, they’re relatively unavailable. What you will find is a bit high priced at $35 for a pair of knobs, or $40 for a complete handle. Mike had said in one of his older videos that if you find the Mk-1 caps available through certain outlets (other than DRT-USA or WCZ), and feel like it’s a good deal, then be cautious as they’re often listing one cap. I unfortunately didn’t catch this until my first order shipped from Japan Tackle. So, I’m basically $80 into caps after paying their $26 in flat rate shipping on ordering a second cap. At the time it was one of the only locations I could find them, and I did have other Daiwa knobs in my first order. On another note; I had a Ardent handle floating around with very similar knobs. While they do have a threaded cap similar to the 13 knobs, and the thread pitch looks identical, the ID of the threaded portion of the sleeve is about 0.5-1mm larger. So I’d be apprehensive about ordering any similar, generic, Chinese cork/eva knobs on ebay, as I’m sure they’re all produced in the same factory and are similar. Picture below to illustrate what they look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
