This Handle is amazing! Durable and extremely lightweight! My favorite handle!!!
Works well. A little slick feeling but overall very good
I like the concept, but the casting grip does not work for me, The handle by the trigger is too thin and the material is slippery making it difficult to grip. I also made a Tsuka2 spinning rod and very much like the handle in that application.
I've built several custom rods with the traditional reel seats until now. This by far is the best complete carbon fiber casting handle available, the lightweight helps balance the rod blank and increases sensitivity. If you're a custom rod builder, you have to try the Tsuka 2 out.
1st time ordering this handle so called customer service to make sure I ordered everything I needed for the job before placing my order. Help from customer service was excellent. I received my order in timely fashion. I love the handle. Light and the Matte Forged Carbon finish on it pops. I watched the You Tube video on how to do the installation and I did the installation yesterday per the video. Came out great. So far in my rod building I have only done cork but I will say this was way easier and faster to do. Another thing I liked that came with the handle was the protective sock that came with it. The biggest bonus is seeing how much my customer eyes popped when he saw it. Can't wait to get the build done and see what he thinks of it after using it.
