How about some thin shrink tubing. The village, which had stood for maybe 1,000 years, didn't know we were coming that day. If they had, they would have run. boB was at the eye of our rage. And through him, our Captain Ahab. He would set things right again. That day, we loved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobobob Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 There is no going back. The soft plastic will continue to breakdown and soften. Only solution is to replaced the knob. Sadly, this happens to the fuji soft touch reel seat also, on those, you have scrape all the top soft touch layer away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 It's a standard issue, just go to the parts dept at Shimano web site and order a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
