    Cardiff or Calcutta 400/401 handle length

    Hi Members,
    could anyone with these two reels in 400 or 401 measure the handle length for me please 🙏🏻🙏🏻. I want know how long is it🙏🏻. I am Trying to put a longer handle on my Calcutta 151 to ease the cranking torque. My current one on Calcutta 151 is 93mm
    Thank you

    There are plenty of off brand handles that will fit the Calcutta reels.
    I've replaced all of my Calcutta 50's and conquest 100's with 95mm and 100mm handles. Makes cranking alot easier.
