penn torque handle upgrade

penn torque handle upgrade

after upgrading the 16vsx handle i also got one for the penn torque 200, a little harder to do but basically cut the handle off the oringinal one and srewed the after marker pro hunter handle on, the only one i could get was blue but matches the saltiga rod nicely

Looks Nice with the new handle but you might want to put some more line on the reel

for a bit more comfort, plus i dont really like the way the penn badge in the middle feels, mine always seemed to irritate my hand, plus i use the reel out deep alot, 90m plus so wanted a bit more comfort
