Fishing Reel Caster Throw Lever

[TX_Diver]

Took a class a few weeks ago and the instructor was showing off some fishing casters that could be used as throw levers. They were attached via something similar to a zip tie. They didn't appear to be a DIY thing necessarily but rather a pre-made product that could be used as a throw lever if you weren't concerned about looking too ghetto.

I took a picture of tons of stuff at the class for reference for later but missed those.

Anyone else heard of that or able to post a link to a product?

Thanks!

Work great but they are a little expensive - IMO.

Yes, breakaway coasters on Amazon. I purchased a 2 pack of these. I will warn u, there are huge. Quite unsightly but for me, that's what I wanted and I didn't want to spend $60+ on a throw lever. So far, got to go

I've used these on AR's for a while... I like the big knob.

Pro Tip - once you tighten it down, mark the ends just above the knob. Disassemble and cut it a few sections shorter than mark. When you re-assemble it should leave the end below the surface of the knob.
