Product Description
Fin-Nor KT318-02 Handle Assembly (Offshore OFS65-95)
Restore the massive cranking power and leverage of your heavy-duty saltwater reel with the Fin-Nor KT318-02 Handle Assembly. This genuine OEM component is the complete handle unit designed for the large-frame Fin-Nor Offshore (OFS) series. It features a solid machined aluminum arm and an oversized, ergonomic rubber power knob, essential for winching up halibut, grouper, or tuna from the depths.
In harsh saltwater environments, handle pivot points can corrode, and rubber knobs can become tacky or degrade over time. If your handle feels loose at the joint or if the knob no longer spins freely, replacing the entire assembly is the most efficient way to ensure you have the grip and torque needed for your next battle.

Tech Tip: This handle features a "Screw-in" design that threads directly into the main drive gear. When installing the new handle, apply a generous amount of marine grease to the threads. This prevents the stainless steel handle threads from seizing to the alloy drive gear (galvanic corrosion), ensuring you can remove it easily for future maintenance.
