ZPI baitcaster 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.

ZPI baitcaster handle

Post by skunked » Tue Jun 02, 2020 11:39 pm

Hi folks. I recently bought an '07 metanium mg7 off eBay. I got a great deal on it and it even came with a ZPI carbon handle! Here it is on one of my favorite reels, a core 101mg.
Does anyone know how much these handles were when new? I feel like I lucked out on this reel purchase! Thanks.

It came with septon knobs and bearings. I only paid $112 shipped, so it's like I bought a handle and they included a free reel lol! Thanks! I guess I did get a great deal!
