need to upgrade handle on my reel

hey guys, does anyone know if there is any alternative handle upgrade available for my shimano spheros 14000? something like RCS parts?

bloody thing is quite flimsy and comes loose a lot..

cheers

stella handle

they can be upgraded with a stella handle kit( arm and knob). then if you wanted to upgrade the knob there are alot of knobs for stellas but the kit by it self is more than enough for the reel. i have one  and i prefer it. good luck bilby.

They had some upgrade handles at the Tackle Shack, just not sure if they would fit that reel.

Thanks guys.. Had a squiz

Thanks guys.. Had a squiz at the bluewater website and realized it's not cheap to get the upgrade ($175) which is nearly the cost of the reel itself...
Might aswell upgrade to a Stella ?
