Do the Shimano FL and FM Stradics come with folding 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.

I couldn't find any answers to this question using a Google image search. If anyone could provide an answer it'd be appreciated!

No but you could try a FJ handle?

I'll have a look at compatibility when I get home this afternoon.

Edit: did some handle swapping and took some pictures for you on my IG, I can't post pictures to here anymore for some reason? Or DM me and I'll email them to you.
