Product Description
The Fin-Nor EA318-01 Crank Handle Assembly is the heavy-duty replacement handle designed specifically for the larger capacity Fin-Nor Sportfisher (ST) star drag reels. Engineered for the "50" size class, this assembly features a longer, reinforced metal arm to provide the increased torque necessary for winching heavy loads from the deep. It is topped with an oversized, ergonomic power knob that ensures a secure, comfortable grip, allowing anglers to apply maximum pressure when battling stubborn saltwater game fish. This genuine factory part restores the mechanical advantage and rugged reliability your ST50 is known for.
