Islander Handles
« on: January 04, 2007, 04:30:32 PM »
When I bought my islander of another forum member, and it doesnt have the wooden handles. I really like the look of the wooden handles as well. My queston is, is there any way to buy the islander wooden handles to put on my reel? Mikes reel repair?

Thanks.

Islander will normally give you the woods for Islander Reels. But NEVER tell them you want Islander handles for replacement cranks for other reels. I received quite the snot-box letter back from them, when I requested to buy a few cranks for different reels.
I now use several maker's wood cranks for whomever needs them....and yes: Mike's can help out. He's presently using some _way_ nicer cranks, from Penn, than the Islanders use, while supplies last. Penn discontinued their high end fly reels, and still may have a few parts in the distribution system.
At present, my cranks come from this reel:
