I have been reading up on reels both spinning/baitcasting- on sites like tackletour.com.  I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me where these guys get aftermarket parts for their reels- and better yet what are they? On a review I read on Tackletour the guy added a carbon fiber handle and other internal parts to a scorpion mg50- the upgrades would be cool to have but where on earth do you get these kinds of things?

jetsprint2,

They were ZPI Carbon handles you can get them here...

ZPI carbon handles @ Japan Tackle

Good luck.

They are also available here in the USA.

Click on Office ZPI and Bassart.

Hey awesome Lightning rod- you know where all the cool stuff is-

Jet:  I'm a deep South Rebel but Bill is one fine yankee to do business with.  He provides quick and great service.  He will also try to obtain specific parts, reels, etc for you if he doesn't happen to have it in stock 8-).

yeah I just bought a carbon fiber handle from him for my scorpion 1001mg- guaranteed to be the only guy from Idaho with a reel like that! thanx again lightninrod- the deep south is cool I lived in Tampa FL for a short time- I'll post pics of the reel when I get everything- I am bringing in aftermarket drag peices for it as well.
