Just curious if anyone has tried. I need a new better handle for my old faithful C4 and like the looks of the NaCl double paddle. I know I can use the NaCl power handle for sure but I dont have a double paddle to try.

Unfortunately, it won't fit. The NaCl paddle is bent inward, the handle will fit but you cannot adjust the drag..

Maybe you could shim it out?

You should be able to fit it, if you bend the arms on the "star"

I know the original Toro handles fit. I have had them on my C3/C4 reels. Just look for one of those.

I think it will, but you need to purchase the bent star drag from abu.

Also there could be a difference in the thickness of the handle plates, make sure you have enough thread to secure the handle.

I'll check about the bent star aspect then. if thickness is same as the power handle on the NaCl which I'd imagine it is, I know that the thread will work.

Just bending the tips back slightly on the star drag made a big difference,it rubbed less on the handle and made it much easier to adjust when I put Nacl handle on a Revo Toro 60.
