Hi all looking for a handle for this reel if possible as just found one in a mates skip - to think he was about to just throw it away for no handle - it is smooth enough just by turning it with the thread so looks in full working order. Any Leeds or help would be great thanks

I might have what you're after; there's a mystery Mitchell handle in my spares drawer that may be from a 204 - it's certainly small enough. This particular handle has a female thread; does that sound right, Adam?

Thanks, Ken. It's definitely the right thread - the male thread on a 440 handle is a perfect fit inside the mystery one.

It's almost certainly the right thread size.

 

I don't want anything for it, mate; just PM me your address and I'll stick it in the post.

Rob,

 

Is that handle lying on "carp bait". Are you sorted out of the closet??

I have several Avon rods, Phone, but they've only ever been used on the Tees. Same with the "carp" bait - it's surprisingly attractive to big roach and crucians!
