In the market for an aftermarket handle for my Shimano core 50mg. It's to short for my liking, I want something with more "winchablity" more power for hauling the big girls outta bed. Wondering if any of you have used any good brands, lengths, where to buy.. I obviously don't want any junk, so I figured I'd ask before purchasing. Thanks!

Same exact thread is just a bit further down the page.

Thanks, I'm interested in the Factory Shimano Metanium XG handle do you know if that will fit my reel? Are all shimano handles interchangeable?

hawgtech cannot be beat for the money, they make 90 , 94 and 102 awesome handles great customer service.

Yes I was interested until I saw the price I would be happy with the Factory Shimano Metanium XG handle but I don't know where to buy it nor if it will for the core 50

Will do

You can buy it from the parts section on Shimano's website and unless Shimano changed their drive shaft diameter, it will fit. You just need to make sure you get everything you need such as the nut and retainer or you might be able to use your Core 50 nut and nut retainer but I don't think so.
