Thanks for the video, just ordered 2 for my SlX DCs. The bearings in one of the knobs on the oldest one died, so when I looked at the Shimano replacement, it's actually the same price for the Shimano vs Gomexus. 💪🏻🐟
@@GreaseMonkeyBassFishing holy crap i found it 😂 i spent 30 minutes crawling on my floor looking for the click pin and i got it, thanks for your help! Legit thought i thought broke it

What do I do if the drag star pops up when removing the old handle? Does it screw on or do I just push it back down
How do you like the knobs on the handle you put on the Curado? are they comfortable? they look more round then I'm use too. thanks
They are comfortable. They do have cork style knobs now also.
Thanks bro I been looking for a video like this I can’t wait until my gomexus custom handles get it
Good vid. Piece of cake. Thanks.
So is it a particular size I need for the SLX DC and Curado DC?
All I run is 105mm handles. These will work for slx dc and curado dc. Shimano hole size is 7x4. 👍
GreaseMonkeyBassFishing PERFECT. That’s exactly what I needed to know. Do they feel lighter?
Carbon fiber handles feel light as a feather. Longer handles means more leverage when reeling in those monsters. Check me out at GMBF on facebook. 👍
Good stuff bro !! Thank you
I just emailed Gomexus yesterday and they said they do not make a handle for the Curado DC or BFS. So confusing.
@vinelandguy not sure if anything changed since this video was released. Majority of the time shimano handle interchange.
Can you install the original knobs on the?
Yes you can.
@@GreaseMonkeyBassFishing😉
when i put my handle on the dragstar stopped making a clicking noise when i tighten or loosen the drag... any fix to this?
On most reels the clicking noise is made by a small ball or pin. I think that may have fallen out when you disassembled.
@@GreaseMonkeyBassFishing ah okay, thanks

Anytime bud! Glad you found it.
But after using for awhile for some reason i have a gap between zhe top of my drag star and the bottom of my handle like it needs a washer
I didnthe same thing but my drag doesnt click anymore it still qorks just doesnt click
I believe theres a small ball that came out under the drag star. That's what makes the actual drag clicking sound.
@@GreaseMonkeyBassFishing i had the plastic piece flip upside down thanks
🎣🔥😁
👍👍👍
is the curado 7x4 or 8x5 ?
Yes, most shimano reels are 7x4 besides their bigger reels.
GreaseMonkeyBassFishing i have the curado k. ordered the same one lol looks super good with that gold.

Is the Gomexus handle lighter than stock one?
I have to get the weights to compare. They are longer handles then stock for more power, and is main reason i use them besides the carbon fiber look 🤣
Where did you order them?
Amazon or ebay bud!
The nut on the handle is reverse threaded because the reel is left handed.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
Are there bearings or bushings in the handle knobs?
Bearings on all handles.
So right handed is normal threaded then?
@@DiegoMcElveny yes normal treaded for right handed reels
👍👍👍
