Howdy,
Can you replace the ball on the jigging world handle with the stock white knob that comes with the tranx?
Take care,

Location: Contrarian Island | not sure, I doubt it.. I prefer the black round one that comes w the jigging world handle over the stock white one.... |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | I use the LJV handle over JW Handle
The Fit of that handle in the plam of my hand works for me
And that Hard paddle will hold up for years.
Plus it is Black so it won't fade like the stock handle.
And it has 2 levels of power, 2 holes both are longer then the stock Handle. |

Location: Contrarian Island | Are they the same length on the long setting? |

Location: Shawano, Wi | Have two LJV handles on both of my tranx 500"s turns this great real into something really special made a huge difference!! Definitely recommend and like it that the handle still says Shimano on it keeping everything on the reel Shimano, but that's just personal preference though. This reel in the longest setting can burn double 10's with the tranx HG like I could with my pg with the old handle. My pg with the LJV handle you can't even feel double 10's they feel like a #8 blade. |

| Howdy,
Is there a stock Trinidad handle that will work and that is as long as the LJV handle?
Take care,

Location: Shawano, Wi | In my opinion the stock handle is to short. Need more leverage when using this real especially for blades. Made a huge difference made this reel something really special with a longer handle. |

For those that have used BOTH, which one is the longest, the LJV or the Jigging world Trinidad model?
Take care,

Location: Contrarian Island | the guy at Daves Reel service measured the LJV handle on longest setting... the JW handle I have is longer... I'd go w the JW handle .. |

Take care,

Location: mercer wi | I was out this weekend and just for fun I put the 400 power handle on my 500hg just for fun. I'm glad I did. Just that little bit of length was a world of difference. Was throwing mag 8 and 10. I put the 500hg handle on my 400 5 gear and that's nice too. |
