Second best CF Daiwa handle after RCS
Second best CF Daiwa handle after RCS
Which is the second best Daiwa CF handle after RCS brand? Looking to replace my handle on the Luna 203L and the prices for RCS handle are way too high.

The Daiwa brand 90mm CF handle is identical other than the cosmetics and the price from what I've seen.

The Daiwa OEM CF handle is looking good but the price is not far from the RCS handle. I much rather get the Daiwa OEM handle if the price would be more affordable.

Re: Second best CF Daiwa handle after RCS
Look at buying something second hand. It will be a little cheaper if cost is a concern. Of course there are plenty of cheaper CF handles out there on EBay.
Not sure how anyone can define best when it comes to a CF handle. IZE, ITO, ZPI, RCS, Studio composites, stock Daiwa CF 80 and 90mm handles all come to mind. Unless you get a knock off or a Chinese cheaper made handle most all will be fairly expensive.

Re: Second best CF Daiwa handle after RCS
This about sums it up. Unless you're looking for something on the cheap, then look at Gomexus and Ray's Studio on ebay. There is no best, it's subjective taste and cosmetic appearance to coincide with a particular reel.Fishing4Fun wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 8:54 amLook at buying something second hand.

Probably RCS cause I feel the SLP is first... Hahaha
Re: Second best CF Daiwa handle after RCS
To me, the RCS/Daiwa are very similar, may even be same handle with different marketing. I've also got a few ZPI's and Bassart's, which are all nice. I picked up a few CF's off ebay from the guy in Ukraine - sdscustom. They are... usable, I guess is the best I can say. They flex more than the RCS/Diawa/ZPI/Bassart, and the handle screw is easy to strip. If you just want a CF for the looks, they work fine, and probably work fine for any type of fw fishing. Still, I prefer the name brands and most of my CF's are now one of the brands listed above...
Also, ZPI apparently is getting out of the accessories/tune up parts business, so if you want ZPI now is the time... they will be getting harder to find going foward.
