I have had 2 Lew’s and a Bass pro handles get loose and pop off, when using. Has anyone else experienced this or is it something I am doing wrong? Also have lost one of the nuts for holding handle back on, is there a good replacement?

I have retightened when I notice they are loose, but they just come loose again after a few cast.

Thanks

Do they have their covers over the handle nut?

Try ONE drop of BLUE locktite. It will prevent the nuts from coming loose but will allow you to take the handle off when needed.
