I have 3 easrly 2000's Garcia Cardinal 2 spinning reels. They are small and kinda heavy, but they match up well with my rods and the dragis butter smooth. The have "T" style handles with rubberized grips which are starting to melt, leaving a sticky residue on my hands. I see a number of replacement handles online, how do I know they will fit?
The best way is to contact the seller and ask them. Most manufactures of after market handles will know what they fit. Or they will give you a money back guarantee if they don't.
Spinning reel handle are pretty common, but the length of shaft going through the reel will be important.
BPS sells slip on handle covers for reels.
