weekendwarrior Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 I’ve been looking for a Stella 4000 for light plugging and finally found one. It came with a handle with an oversized knob. I was surprised that the smaller models came like that. Are the handles with large knobs primarily for jigging? Does anyone use these for light plugging?

Ofc bigger knob give u more cranking power Is there any math to support the bigger handle knob more cranking power statement? Aside from something easier for your hand to grip.

My Stella 4000 XG has a paddle handle. Great reel for plugging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdSy Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I didn't think I'd like a Power Knob; but I just had to replace the knob on one of my reels and the Power was the most efficient solution. Now that I have one, I like it a lot. -Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
