Re: Cal's Alphas/Sol Collection
I didn't weigh them, and these are 80mm handles. Those were the longest "available" ... lol
The Sol, is actually, REALLY sweet with these touches. I wanted a gold handle, but apparently, those are all gone

Re: Cal's Alphas/Sol Collection
yeah same thing jun told me when i inquired about a "wavy" style handle for the 200xt. do they seem any lighter/heavier to you compared to stock handles or carbon fiber?Cal wrote:I wanted a gold handle, but apparently, those are all gone
Re: Cal's Alphas/Sol Collection
They seem lighter than the stock but i didn't really do any side by side comparison. I just wanted them for the unique look and to make these reels a bit more interesting.
The gold would look awesome on the Conquest/Calcutta reels... man

Re: Cal's Alphas/Sol Collection
Very nice Cal. The first Japanese website I ever saw had the Avail handles and I always thought they were pretty cool looking.

Re: Cal's Alphas/Sol Collection
eh.. don't really have a favorite out of the bunch ... with all the reviews, my alphas don't really see much action right now but that could change

Re: Cal's Alphas/Sol Collection
sweet...actually all your gear looks awesome and top notch. I'll bet the fish bite your line more than others as a show of reverance and respect!
Re: Cal's Alphas/Sol Collection
Awesome looking reels Cal. In particular I love the red Avail handle on the Alphas Type F. There are just too many reels I want to buy, will this never end ?????
Re: Cal's Alphas/Sol Collection
Sweet handles Cal! Are they made of aluminum and who carries them?
