    Anyone know where I can find collapsible reel handles for my 500 Sienna’s, 500 Purist’s, Okuma CBF 500’s, and 500 President’s? Ordered some off brand from amazon but they were too large.

    I looked a bit on Ebay but not convinced I would be ordering the right parts. Was hoping somebody had personal experience with a specific product. I thought I read something about that on here in the past but it may have been another ice forum.

    Daiwa QZ and QR ice fishing reels come with them FYI. I’ve been using those lately. Definitely nice to have. Hope you find them. I’ll be keeping an eye on this in case you do.

    If I cant find them i’ll begin switching out to daiwa qc/qz…already have a few of them. Can deal with a loosening a couple okuma baitfeeders of need be.

    I have ordered these from Amazon. This is how they look on the Okuma BF and how they look next to each other

    Any pics, Buku?

    Tlazer, what does the other side look like? The ones I had fit through the reel but had excess when trying to put the cap portion on opposite the handle.

    Here is a photo of the other side. This is on an Okuma 1000BF which is about the same size as the 500BF. I had also ordered some with plastic handles but I like the wood ones better. The second pic shows the the original handle and the 2 different ones I ordered from Amazon

    I see…mine are the 500BF’s. That’s why it won’t fit well. Thank you.

    I also have these on a couple of my Okuma 500BF reels. Here is also a pic of package these reels came in

    Huh, I’ll be. Maybe the “Motback” are smaller than similar ones I ordered?

    Have you contacted the company?

    rsee – yep, they said they haven’t made them that way since early 2000’s. Oh well, minor inconvenience.
