SO this weekend I fell back in love with this reel. I paired it on a Tatula 76hf casting rod, I was throwing frogs. The only thing I wish was improved was depth of spool. I actually can cast to the spool with 40lb power pro. It is just an incredible casting reel. So with my reborn appreciation for it, I want to modify it a bit.
Primarily I want to replace the small stock handle with a longer handle. THE current one is just too small and feels like i am winding a 4:1 ration reel. I also feel like the reel has a lot of power but it is minimized by the small handle.
Any advise on Modifications I can make to this reel? Keeping within an acceptable budget that is.
