To confirm fit and select the correct size for Shimano, Daiwa, Avet, Accurate, and other reels, remove your factory knob and measure three things from the original assembly:

 

🔴 What to Measure

⓵ Handle-knob shaft length

Measure the exposed shaft length from the handle arm shoulder to the end of the threaded tip (or to the clip groove).

⓶ Inner (inboard) bearing or bushing — the one closest to the handle arm

Record ID × OD × Width in millimeters.

⓷ Outer (end-cap side) bearing or bushing — the one near the knob end cap

Record ID × OD × Width in millimeters.

 

◑ Bearing dimensions are always written ID × OD × Width (e.g., 4 × 7 × 2.5 mm).

◑ If your knob uses plastic sleeves/bushings instead of bearings, measure them the same way (inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness).

 

🔴 Tools You’ll Need

◎ Small screwdriver or hex tool (for the knob cap and screw)

◎ A pair of calipers (digital or dial)

◎ A small tray to catch shims/spacers

 

🔴 Step-by-Step

⓵ Remove the knob cap and screw, then slide the knob off the shaft.

⓶ Carefully collect any shims/spacers—you’ll reuse them.

⓷ Measure the shaft length.

⓸ Remove and measure the inboard bearing/bushing (ID, OD, Width).

⓹ Remove and measure the outboard bearing/bushing (ID, OD, Width).

⓺ Reassemble loosely so you don’t misplace parts.

🔴 What We Need From You

Send us:

◎ Reel brand/model (e.g., Shimano, Daiwa, Avet, Accurate)

◎ Shaft length (mm)

◎ Inboard bearing/bushing size (ID × OD × Width, mm)

◎ Outboard bearing/bushing size (ID × OD × Width, mm)

◎ A quick photo of the disassembled knob (optional but helpful)

💧With these measurements, we’ll confirm compatibility and recommend the most suitable Custom Reel Knob for your setup.

 

Tips

◎ Work over a towel so tiny clips and shims don’t bounce away.

◎ Don’t overtighten the end-cap screw during test-fit snug is enough.

◎ If you’re unsure about any measurement, snap a close-up photo and we’ll double-check it for you.

 

Please email us your measurements at info@pbmfishing.com, we will get back to you as soon as possible.
