We are looking at coming out with a line of Carbon Fiber Reel Handles and want to know if there is a market for these. Our question is would you be interested in upgrading your reel handles to carbon fiber ones? These would come with the EVA grips installed @ $24.99 per handle.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll guess I'll ask a dumb question here....what's the advantage of carbon fiber? I guess it would be lighter?

I love the grips on my gen3 STX and I love the handle on my lews tourney pro. You combine that and sell it for $24.99 I'll put it on all of my reels.

Honestly, it's all aesthetics. You won't notice a difference between a traditional aluminum or steel handle and carbon fiber when it comes to weight.

You have to decide which is more important.
