Nice looking reels

I took out my new Torium 16 out for a spin last Saturday on a overnight to San Clemente. I spooled it with 360yards of izor 50lbs white braid with 38 yards of 40lbs clear pline on top. Mated it with calstar 800M
Fish were mostly 10-20lbs and it worked awesome for jigging salas 6x jr and heavy. Plenty of drag and power however one thing I would improve would be better handle. Both my friend and I got nasty bloody blister on the same finger
Using Torium. Other than that it was a great jigging reel. No need to worry about line management due to its narrow spool.

JeffB,
What kind of handle is that and where did you get it?
Actually a little arm and a t handle would be a real good improvement

Thank you!
Is that new handle longer than the original Torium handle? The new Torium sure can use little more torque.
