Shimano Calcutta Conquest BFS Knobs for Daiwa?

Post by Craigthor » Thu Apr 04, 2019 4:26 pm

Anyone know of Daiwa handle knobs that are like the Calcutta Conquest BFS. Those Conquest BFS knobs are super comfortable, I really like my Abu Revo LTX-BF8 but considering a different handle that has less sweep to it, as the cost of Conquest BFS I could upgrade both of my LTX-BF8’s.

This one is similar but hard to tell and expensive to try and not be right.

Or this one

Would be used on this handle probably 85mm.

I have the first ones you listed, on my Steez A. They are pretty big knobs, and fit mine well with a 100mm handle. The RCS High Grip "Light" knobs are a bit smaller and should look much better on an 85mm handle.

Thanks, I’m still undecided on wether to mod my Abu’s or put the money away and grab a Conquest BFS. I’ll be heading out to test the Conquest BFS on some trout this weekend so that should help me decide.

The price bothered me too. I was hoping the new Tatula 100 handles would become available, I paid a little over $40 for two knobs from Japan, not a big deal and I really like them, but if they were a little closer to $12 or so I would have them on MANY more reels.
