I've found recently that double handles are a HUGE advantage for many Eging techniques.
Does any one have any makes of reel or aftermarket handle that could fit what we are using.
I'd like to get a double handle on a rarenium for example.
Daiwa do a range from the E-*** through the Emeraldas but there must be others. Even the Shimano Exage comes with a double option I think (still) but the reels are too heavy and spools too big and too deep.
Basically, when working the rod, you need to keep up with the slack being generated or suffer tip wrap and/or missed takes.
Interline rods are supposed to be more forgiving but most top eging men use very smooth heavy or dense handles or, doubles which to my eye, look way better as they keep running after you let go. They have rotational inertia which controls the slack line.
Still learning and so, I thought I'd pass this stuff along as we go....
