penn torque handle upgrade
Submitted by mako magic on Sat, 2008-01-12 14:27
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
Looks Nice with the new handle but you might want to put some more line on the reel

for a bit more comfort, plus
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
