Daiwa SLP Carbon Crank Handle Set

The Daiwa SLP Works Carbon Crank Handle Set (available in sizes like 80mm, 85mm, 90mm, 95mm, and 100mm) is a premium upgrade designed specifically for Daiwa baitcasting reels using the RCS (Real Custom System) or compatible handle setups.

Why Go Longer (e.g., 95-100mm vs. stock ~80-90mm)?

Longer handles are the most popular upgrade, especially for power fishing. They act like a longer wrench—more leverage for the same effort.

• More torque and easier cranking — Perfect for big deep-diving crankbaits, swimbaits, A-rigs, or pulling fish from heavy cover. Less arm/wrist fatigue on all-day grinds.
• Better control fighting big fish — Extra leverage helps winch in stubborn halibut, bass, or saltwater bruisers without straining.
• Lightweight bonus with carbon — SLP handles use high-tech Torayca carbon for rigidity and strength without adding much weight—feels premium and reduces overall reel fatigue.
• Common for — Cranking plugs, frogging, jigging, or any high-resistance retrieve.

Why Go Shorter (e.g., 80-85mm vs. stock)?

Shorter handles shine when you want quicker, more precise action.

• Faster, smoother retrieve feel → Your hand travels less distance per crank, so it feels snappier—great for burning spinnerbaits, quick jerkbait twitches, or finesse techniques.
• Better for high-speed reels → Pairs well with 7:1+ gear ratios to pick up slack fast without overworking the lure.
• Lighter and more compact → Reduces swing weight for all-day casting, especially on lighter setups.
• Common for — Topwaters, jerkbaits, finesse jigging, or when you need rapid handle turns.

This upgrade is killer for lighter weight, more torque, and that custom carbon look—perfect for SoCal surf setups chasing halibut or bass! If you're eyeing one for a specific reel model, drop the details and we can double-check.
