Egi Knob?

Fri, 2009-01-23 18:41

Whare can i have a look at this Egi Knob? I've seen some other like the Daiwa RCS Light M & L knob. Would they fit the 3000?

Yeh the powerlight will fit the Luvias,

Egi Knob should be on the Daiwa site as it is an RCS extra

just a round wooden knob

Mine is spooled with 2olb Daiwa td sensor,I used to have one of the rcs globes on mine but changed to the hyperlon as the handle is a bit softer,check out bluewater's web page they have all the details on there.

Probably a dumb question, is the Luvias 3000 build the same as the other Daiwa 3000's? maybe a bit smaller/bigger? i know it's deffinately lighter
