SEVIIN GSC knob swap

Featured Replies

I've been struggling to find something to replace these knobs with. I just picked one of the SEVIIN GSC baitcaster's up about 2 months ago and I've enjoyed the reel for the most part. But I can't get passed the feel of these knobs. They seem very tacky after just 6 trips. I keep my reels very clean so I don't think it is due to neglect. Does anyone have an idea for replacement knobs. I don't know what fits the SEVIIN line up.

That's an interesting suggestion and I'm not knocking it. But I'm looking for a different shaped knob entirely.

Looked at the reel, and saw the paddle grips.  

• Custom-designed 95 mm carbon fiber handle with soft-touch paddle grips

We'll never know what you have until you pull it apart and measure the knob spindle diameter.  

They come in 4-mm (Shimano and Daiwa) and 5-mm (Doyo, et.al.)  That's the place to begin.  

 

Bad formulation on the grip rubber - I get that.  Different shape - don't get that without knowing what you want.  

I'm a fan of big EVA knobs, and not to scare you with Studio Composite knobs, here's Avail's big A-knob that fits Shimano and Daiwa spindle.  Another favorite is Livre faceted titanium-shell knob.

I never liked Lew's flat paddles, but I did like these Abu EVA replacements for 5-mm spindle that I found at SDS Customs.

They also fit Omega Pro handle, and Abu offers their version of both giant Avail R and Studio Composite knobs that fit 5-mm spindle.    

Once you figure out the spindle diameter, Abu vs. Shimano/Daiwa, ebay is loaded with knob choices.

I bought some EVA knobs a while back for my Revo EXD, and I really wish I could find more of these. https://ebay.us/m/2hKYNv  I'm also not a fan of flat knobs and I like my knobs to be longer for the handle catch because I swear these hands are lost and confused when it matters. It makes it a little easier for me to find my handle when I'm trying to watch the water on the hook set.

Try this Gomexus handle.  I have used them before and have this exact handle on the way.  I like the long TPE power knobs.

gee guys, this is the same link - you don't need anything to the right of the first ?

Likewise, I linked the Abu knobs in my prior post, but you can't use those unless you measure your knob spindle is 5 mm.  

 

The biggest, baddest and Lightest are Studio Composite - they're always lighter than the little stock rubber knobs - the EVA is over carbon tube.  

I can find these in both 4-mm and 5-mm but it takes astute Japan shopping.

The Studio Composites look like something I'd go for. In the mean time I went ahead and ordered a Gomexus handle. I figured I have other reels so if it doesn't fit the GSC I can toss it on to one of those. I need to find a tool to measure the GSC handle spindles. I didn't think that I'd need to. But I guess this is a unique handle. I appreciate everyone for providing some much needed insight. I'll return to this post as soon as I measure the spindles.

I'm back. So the spindles on the GSC handle measure out to 4mm diameter. I think I'll going hunt down some decent Daiwa knobs. Thanks for the help everyone.
