Product Description

SHIMANO 101F3 HANDLE ASSEMBLY (RD21775)

Restore Your Reel’s Cranking Power

The Shimano 101F3 Handle Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement handle designed for the "Next Generation" of Shimano spinning reels. This complete assembly includes the handle shank and knob, pre-assembled for easy installation. Constructed from durable anodized aluminum, it provides the rigid, wobble-free connection necessary for smooth retrieval and solid hooksets.

If your original handle has been bent, stripped, or the knob has become sticky, replacing it with this factory-original part ensures your reel performs exactly as it did out of the box. This specific assembly is designed for the 2500-size body of the Nexave FI series, offering the correct sweep and length for optimal torque.

Installation Tip: This handle uses a "through-body" screw cap design. Ensure you retain the Handle Screw Cap (often part 101EZ or RD15096) from your original reel, or order a replacement if it was lost, as it is required to lock the handle in place.
