I'm looking for a new handle, but I don't feel like paying an insane amount. I can't seem to find any actual reviews on handles no matter what cost. I'm considering the Byerly Chamois, Accurate T Prime, and Liquid Force T5. I don't really need a line, but the Accurate chamois with lines are also on my radar. Anyone out there have anything to say about which handles are good quality but won't break the bank? Only requirement is that it be 15 inches or larger.

stay away from the LF ones. I recently had a leather grip one go to he11 on me in 1 month and another guy was even saying his team handle got shredded in no time. I'm warrantying mine =/

Heard good things about the chamois

Haven't heard anything about the accurate, but that doesnt mean it's not good Wink

I have the Byerly Chamois and love it, I've had no problems and don't see any signs of it getting broken. But, I've only had it for about 6months.

Thanks guys. I'm really considering the Byerly but I'll need to act soon as the place I want to order from only has 1 in stock. Kriggs, do you think you could measure the handle for me? Inside sidewall to inside sidewall if you can. All my handles are under a foot, so I want to be sure I get a bigger one and the specs on the Byerly don't list width.

The Byerly is about an inch longer than a foot.

Sounds good, thanks a lot guys. I'm gonna go with the Byerly unless it gets sold out or I scrape together the extra $$$ and get a new line as well.

I ended up going with the Accurate Chamois handle with X-line. I took a look at all my lines and decided I needed some more length so I went with a combo.
