Aftermarket handle

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Im looking to replace the handle on a Bass Pro: pro qualifier. It doesn't need to be carbon fiber. I would like it to be 90mm at least. I would prefer for it to have four bearings. It doesn't need to be anything too fancy.

Good call, TW now has these swept carbon handles complete with knobs,bearings,nut, retainer and screw for $50, in 95mm. Pretty good deal. Also an anodized version of the same kit for $30
