Bass_blaster Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 How much you want to spend? If you want something top of line, hard to find, and expensive, then try to get a DRT. if you want something a little easier to find and not as spends, then these are some: ZPI (i have one and I like it) Hawgtech (I haven’t used yet) Gomexus (I have one carbon fiber and one aluminum and for the price I love them, no complaints) The only knock on Gomexus is that the styling of the knobs is pretty much a copy of the DRT stuff.

nikopap1 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I really like my Hawgtech handle. Its comfortable and lite. I haven't used any of the others but I am very impressed by Hawgtech. They have top notch customer service as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchduh Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I bought the 110MM Thickened aluminum gomexus handle and that thing is smooth and strong. It was right in my price point @ $60 just make sure you order the right size to fit your reel! theres 7x4mm and 8x5mm TackleTweaker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TackleTweaker Posted February 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) It’s 8x5.... I believe the 300-400 size is different than 200 Edited February 14, 2021 by TackleTweaker Heeter55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brootalititties Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 It’s too bad zpi doesn’t make custom parts anymore, was able to find a few matching parts to trick my tranx out tho Bass_blaster and Heeter55 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassoholic23 Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Can someone describe why you like the round knobs rather than flat? I purchased a reel off here with a hawgtech handle with round knobs and my fingers slipped off those knobs constantly so I took it off. I’m just confused what the benefit would be with the handles pictured above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_huff99 Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Y’all know the spindle size on a Revo Beast 40? Is it 8x5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass_blaster Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Got my third Gomexus handle. Still hoping they come out with gold so I can trick out my conquests a little bit. Tinos240 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
