Is there anywhere to get cf handles for curados that don't cost 150$?

Ardent just put one on tackle warehouse. 50 bux, lemme know how it works out.

will it fit shimano reels?

Ghoti just posted up about putting these on his Daiwas, so I think they might not fit Shimanos.

JFrancho do you know of any options that arent a lot of money? If not I know a guy who makes prosthetic parts for people and uses a lot of carbon fiber maybe I can make a cast of the handle and see how much it would cost to replicate it.

No, I don't have anything cheap. CF is expensive material. There was a guy here a year ago or so, claiming he could produce handles for $25. Nothing ever materialized from that.

I was thinking more in the 60-85 range as opposed to the 115-165 ive seen. I know cf isnt cheap I used to have a car with a lot of cf on it.
