Shimano Curado 51E Handle Upgrade?

[Ghost]

Is there a longer handle like 84mm length that will fit and work on my 51E?

Any of the after market, third party handles made for Shimano will fit that reel.

Thank you Cal! Even the newer handles that looked a little bent, like on the Curado K and Casitas? Would I need to also get a new star drag to accommodate that type of handle? I know it needs straight handle, just wondering about my options

You will need the a dragstar to accomodate a bent handle, yes.

The only problem to make it clear the spool adjustment knob.

AVAIL aluminum handles are a popular choice. You can also purchase spacers that will allow you to use any handle with Daiwa fitment. I still have a few in my reel toolbox.

Moving this out of the Shimano Support forum since it's pretty much resolved .. we got you Bantam1
