    Curado 70 reel handle

    Looking for a reasonably priced alternative to the stock handle on the Shimano 70. Just something a little bigger..Love the reel, kinda have a hard time gripping the handle at times

    Thanks BBC

    You can buy a metanium handle from the tackle trap and they run about $30-40.

    Just adding the bigger power knobs helps a lot for me. Tackle Trap probably stocks them.

    Save your money, order the slx handle directly from shimano, $17 shipped, fits perfectly, I have one on my 71

    Thank you all...eyra_kid..I just did that and took knobs off an E5 that I rarely use and put them on there. That is all it needed! Like a different (better) reel

    Thanks again guys

    I put Shimano K handles on all my 70's. I like the added size.

    Glad it helped! I never could get used to the flat knobs.
