Gomexus Power Knob Installation for Shimano Saragosa Reels

[@DamoDownunderOZ]

Who would of thought you could replace handles. I never would have thought about it until now. Made a huge difference to the look much nice than original. Thanks for posting. Let's hope the lock down finishes soon.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Damian, yeah there is a big growing market for handle replacements nowadays. Some pretty cool looking ones too. I was all geared up and ready to go for 4 days of filming starting this Friday which was all cancelled due to new lockdown. Its been a tough few months thats for sure.

When I bought my Gomexus Power Knob for the Saragosa 5000, the well known online retail site gave instructions about drilling a 3 mm hole, out into a 5 mm hole and cutting, etc. My Gomexus Power Knob fitted perfectly using your simple instructions and I can always replace the original if need be. Thanks for the informative video. Brilliant.

[@fishingmad]

Glad to hear it. Yeah there are 3 ways to install them but this is by far the easiest and avoids any unnecessary drilling

[@chellam121]

Thanks for the video. I bought the Gomexus Black and Gold 45mm for Shimano Spheros 2021 SW6000. It was a perfect size match.

[@fishingmad]

Awesome, glad to hear it. Yeah I've really liked the ones I've been using on my Saragosa

Классный кноб Gomexus 👍🔥 Несколько дней, как я владею ручкой в сборе. Очень классная штука.

[@darylC_2306tiger1]

nice job, that knob looks great on that reel. I replaced the knob on my Vanford 2500 with a Gomexus eva metallic red knob and I'm pretty happy with the feel and look, they are very good quality items for a reasonable price. Cheers.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Daryl, Im curious now to have a look at that one for the Vanford, although i must say the vanford handles are very comfortable.

[@darylC_2306tiger1]

@@fishingmad Yeah it was ok but I like the round knob it lets you get a good hold of it when fighting fish, I feel. Cheers.

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Awesome video Alan 👌🏼. The Saragosa looks sick with that new handle. I agree the factory ones are a bit underwhelming.

[@fishingmad]

Totally agree. Unfortunately I was all geared up and ready to go for 4 days of filming starting Friday which was all cancelled due to these new dam outbreaks

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Yea its getting annoying now, people keep going around sick causing problems.

[@fishingmad]

Just watching the news now, numbers are going crazy everywhere, its not looking good.

[@jaredbuttigieg]

These cases just come out of nowhere it’s crazy

[@nopro520]

Key detail to prevent play in the knob is to use the smaller diameter bearing instead of the large diameter one closest to the end of the knob itself.

[@sandytrackxfishing2810]

Thanks mate! Just bought a few new handles for me new twin powers 💪

[@fishingmad]

Gotta love twin powers, amazing reels

[@aranha9365]

Nice! It seems that you 've forgot the second washer 😂. Hey mate, I was looking your kayak fishing videos with the orage native, how did you attached the rodholder to the pedal drive? It is just one screw there right?!

[@fishingmad]

Opps LOL my bad. ill have to go back and correct this. Yeah the old Native watercraft slayer had screw holes on the drive system so you could plug in any railblaza device. Either sounder, or rod holder

[@jamestotomoti407]

Hi just want to ask which second washer you mean? On the instruction diagram,it looks like there is only one? Thanks.

Thanks

1 More thing, dont forget to add grease to the bearing 😁

[@yoben339]

great vid!

[@m00mako94]

would this work on the penn battle III 4000? if so what size would you recommend?

[@fishingmad]

The Gomexus website usually says what handles work with what model reels, so have a look on their website. They also now have full handles which don't require any installation, just unscrew old and screw in the new onw

[@m00mako94]

@ ill take a look, thanks m8 🤙

[@sierradelta8920]

Mine still has some play where the power knob meets the base of the handle? Maybe another washer?

[@fishingmad]

Yep 100% i also had the same issue with the Saragosa 6000 took some fiddling with an extra washer or shim, but was fiddley

[@sierradelta8920]

@@fishingmad Righto great I thought I had a dud!!! Mine on a Saragossa 14000. Will have a few more plays see how I go

[@watersan2]

Great video in your opinion which size should I get for my 6000 Hg saragosa 45 or 47mm ???

[@fishingmad]

Thank you, for good measure I would send the guys at Gomexus an email or message on FB. They would be able to confirm for certain.

[@Tunnelrat6666]

What size was it ?

[@johnimperial9777]

Is it more durable and smoother than original knob?

[@abo-_-yaqoob2313]

Yes by a huge difference

[@martyw9675]

Do you have a link to where you purchased it from ? TIA Cheers Marty.

[@fishingmad]

Yeah i got it from eBay www.ebay.com.au/itm/373488840971 there are a few gomexus distributors locally but getting into a store has been tough last few months.

[@daniellemcgettrick]

Massive help thanks 💪🏻

Thanks for the video. What's the direct fit for the 5000 swa?

[@dilwardawre]

great Video Buddy. i have Shimano Saragosa 14000 do you think 47mm should be direct fit ?

[@mixedbagrookiefisherman3074]

Yes it does. I just changed mine with 47mm knob. Perfect fit

[@TherealYN711]

i bought a 47mm for my 14000 twin power and the screw was one size bigger than the original. i just bout a 45mm and same problem plus there’s a lot of play. i just can’t seem to find the right size

Have a look at this link which documents the direct fit gomexus.com/products/gomexus-power-knob-black-gold-45mm might be worth sending Gomexus a message directly and having them confirm for good measure

[@chuckschillingvideos]

I don't get it. The Saragosa knob is perfectly fine. I've a lot better things to spend money on than the cosmetics of a reel handle knob.

[@stew-03]

If someone has humongous hands, I guess one of these knobs can help with grip. I, like you, am fine with the original knob.

[@jaimaUK]

put a dab of locktite on the threads

[@mexicanamerican21]

So are the handles a fixed part? Mine is a lefty and I can’t change the fuckin handle to the right side. I replaced my handle with my handle of the Tranx500

[@fishingmad]

You can swap the handle from left to right on all fishing reels, just unscrew the handle and swap them around.

[@dwojtasiak]

Where is a spin test? That’s one of reason to put knob with 2 bearings inside…

[@cuocsongthuongngay168]

Cái núm đó là loại mấy mm vậy?

[@seaturtledad6596]

dude, 41 mm fitt just well. 47 mm too fckin big

[@kesnaidoo1078]

Original handle is way better.. 👍🏽

[@cuongtrieu9549]

Not even close. Zero bearing can cause fatigue when fighting big fishes.
