Missing pflueger reel handle

[tbone1088]

Hi guys,
I was out fishing the opener and somehow I lost the reel handle to my pflueger president size 25 reel. I'm actually having alot of trouble getting a replacement, the shipping and handling will cost almost a third of the reel itself! Any ideas on where to get a compatible handle for cheap??
Ps the handle isn't a thread on, so that limits the options

That's a $100 reel...if you can get a new handle shipped to you for $30, I'd say that's a pretty good deal.
With all the supply chain issues these days, I'm not sure you're going to do much better than that.

Good point! But I'm still going to wait and see if there's other options... I actually got the reel for 90 and after shipping and handling the handle will be 54$

Rockey's Tackle repair in Orillia may have one. Their number is 705 325 3526.

Thanks guys for the info. I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if they can help.
Interestingly enough, I have a trion reel and I tried the handle from it... It works on the left hand retrieve side of the president reel, but not the right! That's so strange
