Great $15 carbon jigging handle., able to install at exact pitch I wanted here.   

Threw away the 40-g pot-metal knob and swapped-on a 14-g Livre Ti-shell knob

found a just-right-72-mm double handle (36-mm pitch), $24, for a low-geared Stradic 1000S - also swapped it onto a Livre handle base (Avail knobs).

Have also thrown in a couple of hex-shaft-screw spinning reel stands along the way.

They were smart building their business by copying Livre, and handy they copied them so exactly the parts interchange -  though Gomexus quality has never reached as high, they got the look.

I noticed from a quick peruse on their website, they're copying Studio Composite now, also.

I have a few and they're great. I really like the ones I have on my Daiwa spinning reels. I purchased the double handles and they really help balance them out.

Spinning reel stands are great.

@webertime - the coolest I've found is Tsubaki, with both a stack of o-rings to grab your line, and a rotating hook-keeper.

Ordered the double bearing line roller kit to upgrade the bushing in my Nasci.  Ordering was easy and price is fair.   First impression it looks professional and reasonable quality.    Will report back once I have a chance to put it to work.   But so far has been a good experience buying from them

@Jaybert smart choice - that's something new for them also - covered several Japan aftermarket makers for that part here:  

Also noticed Gomexus has added a Florida warehouse and reel repair service.

Hey thanks that is a good read in that thread and I’m hopeful the Gomexus version of this dual bearing roller concept will work well.  The bushing supported roller was my only reservation about the Nasci when I bought it, so this kit seemed worth a try. The dual bearing concept makes sense to me when I look at it.  If the Gomexus bearings turn out to be junk or something I’m sure I could measure and replace them with another brand bearing. 
 

Did you grease or oil anything when you installed these roller kits ?

 

But back to the thread I was impressed Gomexus had a solution for me here at a reasonable cost and so far seems a decent brand. Eying up their cork handle knobs next and if the roller kit works well I may be ordering a couple more of them for my Stradics.

The aftermarket line rollers come with 740Z bearings, the same size used in Shimano and Daiwa handle knobs.  Most are shielded and oiled, and that's what you want in freshwater.  

The MTCW I use in the salt come with unshielded bearings, so they're very easy to flush, and a drop of oil every spring and fall takes care of them.  .  

Grease is the last thing you would want - you want your line roller to spin fast.  

If you want to test your bearings, take a few inches of mono, loop it over the installed roller, pull back and forth on each end, and see how freely it spins.

Love their spinning reel handles.
