Paddle Handle Upgrade

These paddle handles uphold the same standards as all Islander-made products. They are CNC machined out of a high quality, engineering plastic called Delrin®. These standards and this material brings together precise tolerances, reliability and durability.

Paddle handles will fit directly on MR3 & MR2-LA sized reels and newer MR2 & ARMR2 reels (if they have Large sized handles).

Signs that you have Large handles (no handle base upgrade required)

-The handles are notched at the bottom and the bases flow smoothly into the shape of the handle.
-The handles are just as wide as the handle bases.
Handle diameter: 5/8 inch

Older MR2 and ARMR2 reels with Medium sized handles will require an additional handle base upgrade.

Signs that you have Medium handles (and require a handle base upgrade)

-The handles sit inset from the edge of the current handle bases.
-The handle bases are wider than the handles.
Handle diameter: 1/2 inch
Base diameter: 0.55 inch
