Hey folks, Captain Dave here in Obelstead and I wanted to go over how to make a dull real exciting. Is there a way of doing that? Yes there is. I did a video probably about a year ago where I jazzed up a Diawarioga with sort of an aftermarket Diawahandle. It's a way of taking a boring handle and turning it into actually something kind of exciting. You know a time X watch isn't the most most exciting watch in the world. Either is Shimano Triton real. This is Shimano Triton 100G. I've got videos about this real and It's you know through the roof of how many views and comments that I get constantly about it, but it's a boring real. It's a time X real. It does the job that it's intended to do and it does it really well. You can't hurt it. It's just one of those kind of reels. Graphite, doesn't corrode, strong drag, level-wind, it's my go-to staple reel after working through a whole bunch of other reels. I'm just back to this and always and always have loved these reels. But look at that handle. Is that one boring handle or what? And the whole deal is is that Shimano must think we're like kids with little tiny, tiny hands. Because yeah, you can reel in a big fish with this. But boy is that an absolute boring handle. So That is an exciting handle. This is a handle for a calcuna and in the video description below Below the video where it says show more Click on that and it'll open up to the video description. I Will write down give you the model number of this. So if you Are a Shimano trite know-ner with a boring handle YouTube can give a Shimano calcuna handle and Put it on here and make this an exciting reel again. And what makes it exciting is for the sheer fact Reeling in a 20 30 40 pound redfish with this Not not as much fun as it is is real and it in with that. It's just so easy A little toolkit here. You're gonna take your cap off Your nut I mean, it's just so easy Take screw out take the cap off I Not driver Put the correct nut driver on this cap there we go Take the nut off All right, I mean we're talking You don't have to be a real technician to do this Make sure you keep all your parts and pieces in front of you Take this off throw it in the pile Put this on And it's just that simple put your nut back on And Then tighten it the way these always work out is The point on the nut Where there's a point on the nut from one of the sides of the nut You're gonna tighten it up and you're gonna tighten it basically pretty tight You're gonna tighten it up What it basically works out as is When one of the points is pointing towards The screw hole This usually Fits right on so I'm just off of it a little bit your little nut Cap which is your retainer All right Take that through that on all right Line up the hole Put the screw back in the little retainer There you go folks you just turned a boring reel into an exciting reel That right there is so much better But I mean we're talking about a $65 real brand new I remember when it was 55 brand new So they're not gonna give you this handle. So what are you gonna do? You gotta spend anywhere You can get them on the Shimano website You got to look up the cut-up parts on the parts list And you order the one that fits on here which I think they pretty much all fit on Here they're all interchangeable Or you can find them on eBay. I happen to pick up two I got another one out of here because I've got some newer Tritons that I'm just pushing into service here So I can rotate all my reels so I'm not using the same reels and the same rods over and over again I got these on eBay for about the same price free shipping But you're looking at you know 20 something bucks for each one of these at least for with shipping I think they were Maybe 20 or something like that even on the Shimano website But don't pay no $35 for one of these handles and if Shimano is out of them You can sign up where it says notify me when these come in And they will send you an email and then you go right back to the website and order it So many people don't go right to the real manufacturer to order parts But you can that Shimano makes it very very easy But you can also find these on eBay the most I'd pay I think for one of these on eBay would maybe be 23 24 dollars with free shipping Something like that The only reason I'd buy these on eBay to start off with which these two came from is I get eBay bucks So I get I get money back every quarter And that's a whole other subject is the ins and outs on eBay Which I should do a video of because everything I pretty much Half comes off of eBay or Amazon So there we go In two minutes I just took a boring reel With a little baby handle on it And turned it into an exciting reel I'll put the link below in the video comments Of the other video I did showing the diowa aftermarket handle that I stuck on some diowa rioga reels All right, so there you go There's just another little tip You can do this with about almost every reel you can do this with Garcia ambassadors Um, you can do of course with some shimanoes you can do with diowa you can do with a lot of reels You just got to find the right handle and Heck diowa even makes an aftermarket handle Okay, and of course eBay is absolutely loaded with Um handles that are available in Japan and Korea All right, thanks for watching and stopping by and we'll put this other one on I'll see you in the next video
