can anyone tell me if there are aftermarket power handles for Torium & Trinidad reels?

Chris my Pro Gear CS600 has an aftermarket barrel type knob on it and it's support by two ball bearings. Super smooth and comfy to use, courtesy of the boys at AO

No offence but those handles remind me of Western chics... curvy but very big and bulky. I prefer our far east, petite girls. :P

i still like those rounded knobs...... too bad they seem to be costly for those with bearings....

any idea if the bearings are Corrosion Resistant type of jus some stupid normal bearings

Simi bearing also will corrode if never take care. Got BB better than dun have rite

I think the two BB are normal ones. Bring your SX down to AO and ask Benji to install for you lar... less than $100 damn good liao. Last time when I bought FISHERMAN knob from Tickle Tackle almost $120 (DIY SOMEMORE!). The conversion AO does will convert your bushing supported knob into one that's supported by bearings. Show you my PG CS600 one of these days.
