Gomexus power handle install and halibut catch 

Feels like a toy when you first use it, But when in action, feels like a spinning reel with a big knob.... “ I love it”

I've been looking for info on what handles I can put on a bassinator elite. Gomexus handles look great.

LBCFun thanks for the comment... I new to baitcasters too. I like this one. I use the power handle cause I font like the double handle baitcasters come with. So I bought the power handle cause it reminds me of a spinning reel. Yes I recommend getting one. Try the abu garcia black max. Can’t go wrong with that. Its about $40 at most stores. And if you like, change the reel to a power handle. Good luck. “Get em”!!!!

LBCFun if ur new to baitcasters get something cheap like a piscifun torrent. There cheaper and smaller. Once you learn to cast that then move up. Besides you can load it with close to 140 yds of 40 Maxquatro. Start cheap move up.

What was on your line that was so heavy that it snapped?

@@omega5fisher was using 30lb 8 strands braided line for crabbing

Crab snare? How heavy?

@@omega5fisher it’s the handle not being balanced in the casting as it is heavy to one side; which cause the bail to re-engage during a cast. Similar to a spinning reel where the bail close on you during a cast.

Oh I understand the reasoning. But I don’t use it to cast a snare. I underhand cast a 4oz with it. But thanks for the heads up

I guess I actually also should’ve asked how’s the reel also

Not sure. Just go to Amazon and look up gomexus power knob and look for the one with the same handle. Sorry, I tried to paste a photo. But no option for that.

Been holding up good. I use it for stipers and halibut in the bay. Its definitely not for plugging or throwing lures.

Tony Gruber yes... I don’t see how changing the handle wouldn’t allow you to gear when casting.

Tony Gruber were you looking on purchasing this reel. I just checked Kastking.com it says they have the left handed reel in stock?

@@omega5fisher There is no offset counter weight like you see on many bait casting reels with a single knob grip. This is to keep centrifugal force from turning the handle when making a hard cast which would cause the reel to engage the gears. Anyway, it sounds like it never happened to you, which is a good thing.

Yes. It might also be that the full handle is very light weight. It is not as heavy as it seams.

@@TonyGruber2009 You bring up a great point. I did not think of that.

On one part of the video with the E.V.A. handle, it’s a tsunami slow pitch jigging rod. One the next part of the video with the cork handle, it’s a shimano clarus.

Those rod holders I bought from DHgate.com. On one side. I cut off the black rubber coating and placed a rubber tube over the one side to connect it. So It can hold the rod. If you go to the web site you”lol notice it has two open ends.

Not sure. But that’s a chance I took... now I’m happy with my choice...

Don’t know if it will fit. It does not give a list of what applications it’s for. When you look to purchase the item. You might need to ask the seller?

Only comparing sizes. Not quality.
