Are those delrin or rubber handles ?
Apparently these aren't off the mooching reels and are hard plastic.The Shimano paddles are rubber whereas the Islander ones are delrin. I had Shimano rubber paddles on my Trophy reel, they were nice but I wore out 2 sets completely in less than 3 years (paddle pulling off post). I switched to Islander posts and paddles a couple years ago, way more solid feel and should last a lifetime now.

Ordered these from you and admittedly hardly spent anything and you were great about sending them, didn’t last a season though. Switched to the islander ones for my MR2’s and they are 5 seasons with no signs of wear. No offense, just saying.i have some ....

Do you have any of the Shimano paddle handle kits left?the inner sleeve is just the jacket off some RG6 cable
push the old out and put an new one in done .....
if you really want to go fancy find some ptfe tubing and you be good to go Tug Capitan
fire me a pm for details still have quite a few sets left ....but not sent any out in a while.Do you have any of the Shimano paddle handle kits left?
Excuses excuses! Thought I was pretty tame about it but you had to drag me back in The paddles themselves weren’t too bad considering they are the wrong size, the mod to make them fit was junk. Yes I could have improved it myself with different materials as you say but it didn’t seem worth it.fire me a pm for details still have quite a few sets left ....but not sent any out in a while.
and tug cap you got to be hard on your reels then? .....lol
but as you stated replace the inner sleeve with a brass or ptfe inner and they would still be going .... had to keep things to a budget and at the time could not find a supply. live on the sunshine coast so limited for resources ......
