Help finding Handle part # for a Daiwa Fuego LT 2500D-XH

On my last trip I accidently sat down on my reel and bent the handle ( Hey – No Fat jokes ). I was able to mostly bend it back into place , but its still a little off. Since its a new reel I thought I might as well just order a replacement handle. After a little online time I was finally able to find the part #. It is Daiwa part # Q38-3001. I figured I’d start direct with Daiwa. No luck. Not in stock and no idea when they will receive any. They directed me to a Dave’s Parts in Florida. Once again, No luck. They do not have the part and don’t know when they will get any. Only place I can find one is on Ebay for 29.99. That seems rather expensive for a handle for a reel that is only 99.00. I’m a little disappointed in Daiwa for not having something as simple as a reel handle in stock. Then again like most things these days, I’m sure they simply want you to throw it away and buy a new one. I may just fish it as is and look for a handle at a later date. It feels OK. Just a little off balance.

I don’t have any suggestions for finding the part, I’m just chiming in to say I’m glad I’m not the only one who does that kinda stuff!! I accidentally stepped on my buddy’s rod last weekend. It was the LOUDEST crunch sound and echoed over the water. I looked down hoping it was my rod – nope. I felt terrible! 😬🤦

Fishthumper, try this place.

Mats does not show that part number.I see the site says their not shipping parts at this time.
I,ve had some reel work done there they are decent to deal with.

May be worth a shot to see if it’s the same as the Scheels model. They may have a line on parts. Where did you buy it. Some good retailers have better line to repair parts than the average Joe.
