Looking for a handle part for a Daiwa reel

[StevenFisher]

Hi guys, I am new. On my last trip I accidently sat down on my reel and bent the handle (No Fat jokes). It's Daiwa Fuego LT 2500D-XH. 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 but no luck...they don't have it in stock and suggested to contact retail sellers who might still have it localy. I can fish like this, but getting a replacement piece would be awesome

Thanks a lot, will do! I am currently waiting for the response from BOATiD (it was ordered from them originally and they did a reat job on shipping and everything) and a few other shops that I emailed. Will see if they can source it for me.

If this wouldn't work out, do you think it could be possible to use/retrofit a handle for some cheaper Daiwa model?
