    Any Lews or Abu handle will fit it. I know they both have carbon fiber handle assemblies for around $40-60. You just cant use the Daiwa knobs on them.

    Get the Lew’s 95MM Power handle. Comes with knobs for $39.00. I’ve used them on 3-4 of my reels.

    Do people like those big knobs? I have two handles I took off new lews reels I would sell.

    I added them to my 8.0:1 Super Duty reels. I use one for Punching and Flipping, and the other for throwing primarily buzzbaits and big spinnerbaits on a 7' MHMF Sweeper Spinnerbait rod. I like the added leverage I get with the 95MM handles and big EVA knobs.
    I keep the 80MM handles on the rest of my reels, but have added large EVA Abu Garcia knobs to those I use for crankbaits.

    Can’t speak for others but the the standard Lews knobs are ugly IMO and not all that functional. The knobs found on the Daiwa Tatula I find ugly as well but the material they are made of makes them far more grippy when wet then the Lews.

    Many JDM options out there. Hedgehog Studio is a good place to check some of them out.

    I use these on all my LEW's/ Great Carbon Fiber handle and cork knobs. I use U40 on the knobs, too. Takes about 3 weeks to get them.

    Rays studio has a good selection and is more budget friendly than hawgtech or ZPI handles. I found a carbon fiber swept handle on eBay for right at 40 pretty sure

    What did you do for a nut and locking screw?

    No.... They do not fit Shimano... They are swept handles and the star drag hits the handle on shimano.
    I used my existing nut, ring, and locking screw.
