Basszone handles

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.

Does anyone know off hand if the Basszone handles accept Daiwa knobs.

Yes they do, you'll need a couple extra shims to take the play out though. Very nice handles at a good price

^^What he said, very nice quality for the price!^^
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Might be a possible solution if I can't find the old Steez 103 SHA slotted handle. They look pretty close.

Going to bump this thread for those who are interested. Got my 90mm Basszone handle yesterday. I'm very impressed with just about everything. Took 13 days to get here, $53 shipped. Like others have said looks just like a RCS carbon handle. First thing I did was try to bend it with my fingers lol; this sucker is stout. No budging at all. Quality is great, everything looks like it should. Knobs have some flashing from the molds but I like the material they use, very sticky. Didn't measure the 4 bearings that come with, but they won't fit a standard daiwa knob, possibly a Abu knob. Comes with your choice of colored retainer. As others have said, you'll need to add a few shims if you're putting Daiwa knobs on. Anyways, a lot of bang for your buck. Great alternative to paying almost twice as much for other options.

I'm a big fan of the Basszone handles too. Never had a problem with one. I really like their knobs too. They are basic Daiwa shaped knobs but a touch thinner and longer and usually made of grippy rubber that doesn't get very slick when wet or oily like most Daiwa knobs do for me.
