IOS FACTORY’s Acrista II is a high-precision reel handle knob featuring a jewelry-like shine and a non-slip coating for a secure grip. Designed with corrosion resistance, dust resistance, and basic water resistance in mind, it combines an acrylic resin body with corrosion-resistant stainless steel bearings, reel manufacturer-specific shims and color parts, and a disk tool for installation. Two types are available: the thicker Normal Type A and the slimmer Slim Type B. Normal Type A has a shape that is easy to grip firmly, while Slim Type B features a slender profile designed to enhance sensitivity when operating the reel.
It is compatible with Shimano spinning and baitcasting reels that use the current stepped type, Daiwa spinning and baitcasting reels with a 2BB configuration, and carbon handles from Brave, Rodio Craft, and Funnel, as well as the Cardinal Adjustable, IOS W Handle Swan, IOS Offset W Handle, and other models. When the dust seal is installed, the knob is water-resistant, but it is not completely waterproof. The seal also makes the knob rotation heavier than usual, so remove the seal when prioritizing rotational performance. During installation, use the included disk tool and check the clearance by moving the body back and forth after tightening. If there is looseness or poor rotation, adjust it using the included 0.1 mm shim. Acrylic resin is prone to scratching and clouding when exposed to organic solvents, so handle it with care.
