2020 Shimano Metanium handle/knobs

[Bretts_daddy]

Okay, the bait monkey is really trying to get my attention  . Apparently the Japanese Yen is tanking and the new JDM reels on Digitaka (and I assume most other Japanese tackle sites) are getting to be really good deals. I'm looking hard at a new JDM Shimano Metanium for $249 usd. The only thing I don't like about it is the small handles and would like to get a handle made for the USDM version, anybody know where to get those for relatively cheap?

I would assume the crankshaft is the same on the US and the JDM versions. If so you could by a handle from Shimano for $33

You'd still be under $300 which is an amazing deal
