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.

I have a Daiwa steez sv and I love the reel but the handle is tiny. Looking to upgrade to carbon fiber handle. Which handles and size would y’all recommend? It’s going to be used for mostly jigs.

Hello, Friend!
You can look at handles from Rays Studio:

This is chineese company of DIY reels parts (spools, knobs, small parts, etc.)

Tackle trap seems to have some of the 90mm RCS.
you can try the usual JDM sites (JLS, Hedgehog studio etc....) but depending on where your located they may not be shipping to your country at the moment.
I would stay away from the Rays handles personally.

Any reason you advise against Ray's? I have a 90mm Ray's on my Steez SV TW and it has worked flawlessly. Can't imagine the RCS being worth $70 more than I paid.

I put a RCS 90mm on mine and I have a ZPI on a Met. They are both really high quality handles. Horse apiece.

To me they look cheap. The shape seemed off and they looked "shiny".
For me its like buying a $5000 TV and mounting it with a $10 mount.
Please nobody take offence, just my option.
