Serious anglers are upgrading their reels - swapping in faster bearings, lighter spools, high-performance braking, and custom handles/knobs - to turn great value reels into precision machines. If you haven’t tried a quality handle/knob upgrade yet, you’re missing one of the highest-impact improvements for control and feel.

⭕ Our take at PBM Fishing

🔵We’re rarely satisfied with many OEM handles, knobs, and arms (even from Shimano, Daiwa, Avet, Accurate, etc.). After years in the industry, we confidently recommend Ultimate Jigging as the go-to upgrade for your reel’s handle/knob/arm.

⭕ Why Ultimate Jigging parts stand out

◉  CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum with Type II anodizing and modern two-tone finishes.

◉  Extensive machining, not just decorative holes—resulting in precise tolerances and a refined feel.

◉  Ergonomic indentation for a more secure, comfortable grip.

◉  Lightweight and stylish, designed in the USA.

◉  Better value than many OEM parts—premium performance without the premium OEM price tag.

◉  Power Arm advantage: in our sample comparison, Ultimate Jigging’s Power Arm was stronger and lighter than comparable OEM arms from Shimano and Daiwa (~13 g vs ~17 g). (Weights vary by model.)

◉  Up to 25 color combinations available for Power Arm + knob, so you can match your setup.

⭕ Bottom line

🔵 If you’re upgrading your reel, put Ultimate Jigging at the top of your list. A better handle/knob/arm delivers immediate gains in leverage, comfort, and control - on the jig and under load.
