Description

This is a rod handle used for building a custom ice fishing rod.  I uploaded several hole sizes for different diameter blanks but the main sizes I used were the 7.1mm for my standard jigging rods and the 9.5mm for heavier dead-stick rods.  The handle was designed for the reel to be held in place using castration bands which can be found cheaply on Amazon.  The reel seat was made to fit with a Shimano Vanford 2500 series reel but has fit perfectly with several other reels that I own.  I adjusted the larger 9.5mm file's reel seat to fit a bigger 3500 series reel as well.

I have printed both with and without supports but found the best luck only using the tree supports on the reel seat and nowhere else.  I used several different brands of PLA and have had no issues with durability.  All my handles were printed with 20% infill.

 

Mine were printed using an Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus and Orca Slicer.
