    Handles

    I need to replace a few handles on my mainly 200 size Shimano reels. I certainly have no need to spend more on handles/knobs than I originally paid for the reels. Can anyone recommend a stock handle assembly that's above average. I'm thinking I like the paddle type handles similair to what came on an old ABU 3600 Pro Max.

    I like the Chronarch MGL and the Metanium 13 handle's the best. I have put these on most every Shimano Reel I own.

    Besides my CF handles, all mine are XG handles, much better than stock length.

    For less than 40 bucks, you get the 96mm handle, knobs, 4 bearings and shimmed. Hard to beat that deal

    Will these fit a Chronarch/Citica 200E?

    Yes sir. You may need a shim to clear the drag star completely.

    These are for a Daiwa reels but work well for Shimano's too. http://tackletrap.com/index.php?main...oducts_id=4642
