Who would of thought you could replace handles. I never would have thought about it until now. Made a huge difference to the look much nice than original. Thanks for posting. Let's hope the lock down finishes soon.
Thanks Damian, yeah there is a big growing market for handle replacements nowadays. Some pretty cool looking ones too. I was all geared up and ready to go for 4 days of filming starting this Friday which was all cancelled due to new lockdown. Its been a tough few months thats for sure.
When I bought my Gomexus Power Knob for the Saragosa 5000, the well known online retail site gave instructions about drilling a 3 mm hole, out into a 5 mm hole and cutting, etc. My Gomexus Power Knob fitted perfectly using your simple instructions and I can always replace the original if need be. Thanks for the informative video. Brilliant.
nice job, that knob looks great on that reel. I replaced the knob on my Vanford 2500 with a Gomexus eva metallic red knob and I'm pretty happy with the feel and look, they are very good quality items for a reasonable price. Cheers.
Totally agree. Unfortunately I was all geared up and ready to go for 4 days of filming starting Friday which was all cancelled due to these new dam outbreaks
Nice! It seems that you 've forgot the second washer 😂. Hey mate, I was looking your kayak fishing videos with the orage native, how did you attached the rodholder to the pedal drive? It is just one screw there right?!
Opps LOL my bad. ill have to go back and correct this. Yeah the old Native watercraft slayer had screw holes on the drive system so you could plug in any railblaza device. Either sounder, or rod holder
i bought a 47mm for my 14000 twin power and the screw was one size bigger than the original. i just bout a 45mm and same problem plus there’s a lot of play. i just can’t seem to find the right size
Yeah i got it from eBay www.ebay.com.au/itm/373488840971 there are a few gomexus distributors locally but getting into a store has been tough last few months.
Have a look at this link which documents the direct fit gomexus.com/products/gomexus-power-knob-black-gold-45mm might be worth sending Gomexus a message directly and having them confirm for good measure
So are the handles a fixed part? Mine is a lefty and I can’t change the fuckin handle to the right side. I replaced my handle with my handle of the Tranx500

Glad to hear it. Yeah there are 3 ways to install them but this is by far the easiest and avoids any unnecessary drilling
Thanks for the video. I bought the Gomexus Black and Gold 45mm for Shimano Spheros 2021 SW6000. It was a perfect size match.
Awesome, glad to hear it. Yeah I've really liked the ones I've been using on my Saragosa
Классный кноб Gomexus 👍🔥
Несколько дней, как я владею ручкой в сборе. Очень классная штука.

Thanks Daryl, Im curious now to have a look at that one for the Vanford, although i must say the vanford handles are very comfortable.
@@fishingmad Yeah it was ok but I like the round knob it lets you get a good hold of it when fighting fish, I feel. Cheers.
Key detail to prevent play in the knob is to use the smaller diameter bearing instead of the large diameter one closest to the end of the knob itself.
Thanks mate! Just bought a few new handles for me new twin powers 💪
Gotta love twin powers, amazing reels
@@fishingmad I've bought 3 in 3 weeks haha so smooth
Awesome video Alan 👌🏼. The Saragosa looks sick with that new handle. I agree the factory ones are a bit underwhelming.
Totally agree. Unfortunately I was all geared up and ready to go for 4 days of filming starting Friday which was all cancelled due to these new dam outbreaks
Yea its getting annoying now, people keep going around sick causing problems.
Just watching the news now, numbers are going crazy everywhere, its not looking good.
These cases just come out of nowhere it’s crazy

Hi just want to ask which second washer you mean? On the instruction diagram,it looks like there is only one? Thanks.
@@jamestotomoti407 2:50 I thing you are right, must be a spare one which comes with the package, my bad.
@@aranha9365 no worries,all good! Tight lines!
Is it more durable and smoother than original knob?
Great video in your opinion which size should I get for my 6000 Hg saragosa 45 or 47mm ???
Thank you, for good measure I would send the guys at Gomexus an email or message on FB. They would be able to confirm for certain.
What size was it ?
great Video Buddy. i have Shimano Saragosa 14000 do you think 47mm should be direct fit ?
Yes it does. I just changed mine with 47mm knob. Perfect fit
i bought a 47mm for my 14000 twin power and the screw was one size bigger than the original. i just bout a 45mm and same problem plus there’s a lot of play. i just can’t seem to find the right size
@@novasweat4432 just use old screw and thick ball barring
1 More thing, dont forget to add grease to the bearing 😁
I like the big rubber handle better
Great vid!
Thanks
Do you have a link to where you purchased it from ? TIA Cheers Marty.
Yeah i got it from eBay www.ebay.com.au/itm/373488840971 there are a few gomexus distributors locally but getting into a store has been tough last few months.
great vid!
Mine still has some play where the power knob meets the base of the handle? Maybe another washer?
Yep 100% i also had the same issue with the Saragosa 6000 took some fiddling with an extra washer or shim, but was fiddley
@@fishingmad Righto great I thought I had a dud!!! Mine on a Saragossa 14000.
Will have a few more plays see how I go
Thanks for the video. What's the direct fit for the 5000 swa?
I think its this gomexus.com/products/gomexus-power-knob-black-gold-45mm for good measure message Gomexus directly and have them confirm
@@fishingmad thank you
I was about to buy one for my 14000, doesn't seem like they make them
Mind if i ask what the size of the powerknob? Thank you
Yeah this is the one which i bought for my Saragosa SW 8000 www.ebay.com.au/itm/373488840971 hope that helps
Thank you!
You're welcome!
What size knob did you get
Massive help thanks 💪🏻
Your welcome !!
What size should i get for sw10000
Hey mate will that fit a saragosa 14000
Have a look at this link which documents the direct fit gomexus.com/products/gomexus-power-knob-black-gold-45mm might be worth sending Gomexus a message directly and having them confirm for good measure
is it work on 20000 ?
What kind of knob is that .thank
Gomexus Power knob For Shimano Saragosa SW 6000 8000 Reel Handle 45mm Direct Fit
@@fishingmad OK thank you.
no problems
Shimano size 10000,vừa ko?thanks
So are the handles a fixed part? Mine is a lefty and I can’t change the fuckin handle to the right side. I replaced my handle with my handle of the Tranx500
You can swap the handle from left to right on all fishing reels, just unscrew the handle and swap them around.
Where is a spin test? That’s one of reason to put knob with 2 bearings inside…
put a dab of locktite on the threads
I don't get it. The Saragosa knob is perfectly fine. I've a lot better things to spend money on than the cosmetics of a reel handle knob.
If someone has humongous hands, I guess one of these knobs can help with grip. I, like you, am fine with the original knob.
I have saragosa sw6000 which size gomexus knob perfect fit on my reel
I think its this gomexus.com/products/gomexus-power-knob-black-gold-45mm for good measure message Gomexus directly and have them confirm
dude, 41 mm fitt just well. 47 mm too fckin big
Cái núm đó là loại mấy mm vậy?
Original handle is way better.. 👍🏽
Not even close. Zero bearing can cause fatigue when fighting big fishes.
Thank you so much this was head doing hard till I followed you life saver 🛟 thank you
