GPA Blu Avio - 46mm XL Power Knob x Sustain 5000fe - 2011

The perfect upgrade to my needy and over-worked Shimano Sustain.  What can I say, this worked out perfectly.

I took some photos with the Studio Ocean Mark EVA handle knob as well just for reference.  GPA is about 1.0mm wider in diameter. 
If any of you are out there thinking about this knob it surely does its duty as I comes with the Daiwa conversion pieces.  Now you can swap between your fav reels.

Jigstar Products : 335lb Swivel, Ring & Grommet

Shout out to Chris Wong of BCS Enterprises in New Zealand for sending some samples of these Jigstar products. Thank you!

The following is just a way for us to connect leader material (un-damaged) to a swivel via a solid ring. The connection will serve as an extremely consistent and strong way to get our jigging on!

Introducing superior jigging terminals.
335lb rating for the swivel and grommet. I plan to use this setup next week while in the big M.


Cheers & Enjoy!
