Shimano knob question

[Rodster14]

I have a couple of Shimano Exscence reels. I love the reels, but do not like the T-wing handles. I have searched for aftermarket knobs and didn't see any I like. Would it be as simple as swapping out the T-wings for the standard Shimano spinning reel knobs?

Yes. But be careful what you order, they're usually dedicated RH or LH. Brian.

I've gotten used to these handle knobs on my bait casters, so I've replaced all the factory handle knobs with BNT5768 on my spinning reels, just feel natural to me. BNT5768 is a LH.

Gives you an idea on what's possible I hope.

2x Spheros SW 3000 (came with T-handle)
1x Stradic FL 1000 (came with Stradic FL 2500 knobs)
1x Stradic FL 3000 (came with T-handle)
1x Vanford 3000 (came with T-handle)

Exscence should come with 2 handle knob bearings already so you should be good there, I think.

Don't forget to get shims (BNT6555) and the end caps (BNT7074) if you decided to use Shimano handle knobs.

There's a ton of options out there though.

Just order the handle knobs (RH or LH specific) off the 22 Excence bait caster, as theyve got the dark anodised end cap.
