hey guys,

Time to order a new handle, and just want to see what everyone rides with and likes. Open to any suggestions to try!

I have the Ronix One handle and I really like it. It took some getting used too, but my favorite thing is how grippy the handle is and how simple and light it is. I've had a carbon handle and a few others and it's my favorite.

I've been using a generic handle from Big 5 sporting goods in my winch builds, it's very similar to what is sold at Sport Chalet and they've proven to be durable, that being said they're only $30 which includes line, certainly not high end but perfect for a tight budget, I think the brand is Winner's Circle

For the love of all that is holy do *Not* get a Liquid Force handle. I seriously love them for boards and bindings but my goodness they do NOT know how to make handles. I got one of the super soft style ones like the chamois one from accurate and the foam underneath ripped and spread apart so that I was basically holding onto an aluminum pole with a very thin layer of fabric around it.

I sent it in for a replacement and demanded a different style - the new foam only grip came and in less than a year the fiberglass corner is cracked. I'm super p*ssed (this was the first high quality handle I bought)

I second superman, for handles I'm buying the cheap junk and running it with a higher quality spectra line. I might try out the accurate chamois handle as I've heard great things about it. But I'll never go back to LF for handles.

Do yourself a favor and look at the Proline stuff. Their new stitched chamois handles rock and they also have a triangle shaped bar (the Synthesis or LG-S) which is the best handle ever IMO. Been riding my Synthesis for 3-4 seasons and its going strong. Floats, is soft and easy to grip.
