What handle for this old Daiwa

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.

Just to sing the praises of the R+ some more, I got back from throwing a 1/4 oz squarebill and the reel did great. Everything wanted to eat that thing. What a great spool. I was never able to appreciate it in my weak magnet 1st gen Steez.

Gomexus is working on producing straight carbon handles with a design yet to be finalised. But there use to be Bassart, Daiwa IZE works had some straight handles, ZPI and another i cant remember right now.

Ray's too. They look like ZPI knock offs. I have one on my lefty flipping TD-X. The Weihai Fishing Store had/has them.
