Title: Hawg Tech - A must for you reel junkies!
Post by: FD on April 03, 2022, 02:46:54 AM
Robert from Hawg Tech explains some of the available carbon fiber handle upgrades.  This is some cool stuff.  I was never one to trick out a reel but after handling those reels I'm starting to feel the bug.  He also shows us their new flippin weights.

I upgraded the handle and knobs on my Daiwa Fuego CT 100 to a 95mm carbon fiber handle with cork knobs and matched the colors on the handle plate, nut Cap and the knob seats and screws to the red on the reel spool.

That 95mm handle is my preferred length. The reel looks and feels really great now and it shaved a little bit of weight off as well.

Joe is spot on about the deep rabbit hole cause now I want to do it (and more) to ALL my reels.
