    US Shimano handle information?

    Anyone know a source for handle information (length) for the US reels? Going to replace some jdm handles.

    you might just have to ask here and some of us might tell you what they have. I swapped out the handles on my JDM mets and Bantams for the larger US ones but I don't recall a website that had the numbers. I just looked in review articles and asked around

    What models are you interested in.
    I replaced my Bantam JDMs (regular, HG and XG) with USDM Curado K XG 95 mm handles. They will work on the Mets, as well. They look fine. I replaced my JDM mets with the US met XG handles. They are also 95mm. Not positive about the size on the US regular and HG models. Probably 90 mm, I would guess. That's the size for US Curado K handles on the 6.2 version

    Thats the information I was looking for. I am wanting to replace handles on a bantam and a met with 95mm handles. I wasn’t sure what the US metanium xg handles were. Thank you very much for the help
