Rep Power: 5 | Re: Penn 16s Hi Physlo, There is actually a T-Bar Lite made under license by Tiburon. T-Bar Handles Unfortunately I don't think it is available locally, but readily available through online stores like Charkbait. The T-Bar Lite I was told is better suited for the 16S versus the full-sized T-Bar. Some people I know who fish on the US long range tuna trips have heard of incidences regarding 16S blueprinted for higher line ratings eg 60#, using the full T-Bar, having damaged the reels because it delivers too much torque for a reel that size - not too sure about the specifics, but it concerned bent shafts & damaged gears. However if you are not one of those who fish with crazy drags, I guess the full T-bar may serve it's purpose, but be aware that the reel will be pretty off balance as the handle is huge. The other alternative is to get a Penn 30 handle. Not too sure if it will fit the 16S, but it fits the 12T, so there may be a chance. Hope this helps. Best regards, Makaira |
