I have alot of Penn Graphite reels, from 525 to 555. Nothing to the switch. I've replaced a few. But why change a good thing?

The Handel nuts are generally generic and 8mm so they are mainly interchangeable. Just be careful not to over tighten and strip the thread if you have not done that before.

I would like to change the handle to a longer one. The handle is too short for cranking.

Daiwa SL handles fit and Trinidad handles do too. Or so I'm told.
