[Product Description]
A high-rigidity handle from Shimano’s official custom brand "Yumeya," designed to handle everything from small lures to big baits. This high-performance model combines the torque and control needed for targeting big fish.
-48 mm (from handle center to knob center): Effectively offers a 96 mm arm length, ideal for powerful cranking.
-Weight: 63 g: Designed with concentrated knob weight for consistent torque and stable reeling.
-Genuine Shimano Design: Yumeya is Shimano’s official custom parts brand. Compliant with the M7 standard, this handle integrates seamlessly with compatible models without the need for additional shims or parts. Offers secure installation and consistent quality with minimal variation.
[Features & Benefits]
-Zero-play clearance design: The knob is engineered with an extremely tight fit both vertically and horizontally, eliminating any play during reeling. Maintains stable speed and concentration even during dead-slow retrieves.
-High-quality, grippy knob design: The slightly moist texture provides excellent grip even with dry hands. Its round, wheel-like shape transmits power effectively during fights with fish.
-Enhanced action sharpness: The inertia of the heavier knobs improves lure startup and response, especially enhancing the jerking motion of lipless big baits and similar techniques.
[Points to Note / User Impressions]
-Compatibility check is essential: The 48 mm (BH‑1) model is compatible with Shimano M7-standard reels (e.g., Antares, Bantam 100–200 series). The 55 mm (BH‑2) is for M8-standard reels and has a different nut size, so be sure to confirm model compatibility.
-Weight and balance: This handle is approximately 30 g heavier than standard models. While some anglers may need time to adjust during palming, pairing it with a long-grip rod or a tucked-arm posture helps maintain balance.
-Not suitable for standalone swapping: The knob cannot be used on stock handles alone. Due to its dedicated shaft and bearing design, it is not compatible with other brands or Shimano stock models as a standalone part.
[Recommended For]
-Anglers who focus on dead-slow retrieves and precise big bait manipulation
-Shimano reel users seeking factory-level quality even in custom components
-Those aiming to fight large fish with solid torque and a smooth, confident reeling feel
-This makes the Yumeya Ultra Strong Handle 48 mm BH‑1 a must-have for serious Shimano reel users, offering an ideal balance of control, quality, and power.
