Found this unusual aftermarket handle. I wonder if the other knobs will get in the way while rolling one.

P.S. This is a real thing for sale, not by AI.

What is supposed to be the benefit in the extra knob?

Not more than you need . . . .

Oh wait - Yes it is.

Can't see what problem this fixes or how having that extra hardware could be more convenient.

Just because you can doesn't always mean you should.

It looks like it belongs on Popiel's Pocket Fisherman.

I suppose it will save a huge amount of time searching for the knob when you go to start cranking. Over the course of a day, it might be as much a whole second! 🤣

Saw an exact shape but with 170mm handle, yes, 170mm. Looked like a helicopter. The stupidest handle i've ever seen on Ali.

Back in my working days, we've had these meetings when some off the wall idea was brought up.

The idea isn't exactly original

This is a 1903 Bluegrass Works tournament (distance) casting reel.

The purpose was balance and low inertia in fast-spinning direct drive.

Dollars to donuts, nobody with a Meek, Milam, Talbot or Jack Welch Heddon ever used that term.

Guarantee I break my own index finger with that triple.
