Our 100mm straight and completely flat handle features ergonomic EVA foam or cork grips that deliver a comfortable, nonslip feel—perfect for long sessions on the water. This handle is specifically designed to fit your older style reels where a swept or slightly bent handle may get in the way and interfere with the drag star.
Crafted from lightweight aluminum alloy, and fitted with premium stainless steel ball bearings, our 100mm handle weighs only 34.7g (1.22oz), reducing overall reel weight while maintaining strength and responsiveness. At 100mm (3.93"), it provides the torque and leverage needed for cranking power, lure control, and battling hard-charging fish.
Proudly designed and assembled in the USA, this handle is built for anglers who demand reliability, comfort, and smooth performance from every cast.

I’ve got an older Shimano Curado left hand retrieve and one of the knobs on the handle was just about froze up. After trying to lubricant and work it I realized it must have been bent. So I searched for a new handle and came across Cooper custom handles on EBay.
After a couple of messages back and forth they figured out which handle would work.
Installation wasn’t hard, just had to put a spacer sleeve on the shaft then tighten the nut down.
Test it with a few casts and think that this will be a big improvement over the old handle. It’s slightly longer and should provide more power reeling in the big ones.
Can’t wait for a fishing trip to try it out.
