BioMaster

[Bobby Bass]

Im looking at the BioMaster 2500 for my new batch of reels but I would much prefer it to have a I knob rather than the T knob.

other than that its very nice for the price

Can you get this changed and how much are the knobs. I am looking at buying 6 or 7 of them so its a bit of a inconvenience to have to change all the knobs.

Cheers

Should be easy enough to ring Shimano in the morning?
Maybe someone can give you an answer before then.

The Japanese 2500 Biomasters (or most Jap spinning reels) come with I instead of T knobs.

Thanks but I dont buy from overseas. I like to support the Australian economy where I can. a coupple of thousand bucks aint much but its something

I will call tomorrow

Well remember to tell us what Shimano says.

Will for sure. It seems to be a common problem, a few of the higher end reels have 2500 t knobs

Shouldn't be a drama mate, I dabbled with the idea of a I knob for my Stella fe2500 as I was so used to my 1000 reels with them. Shimano told me it can be done for the Stella so I doubt the biomaster will be different.

The reason I left the t on the Stella is as I switch the reel over to a heavier rod and 3000 spool for snapper, and the I knob is too small when cranking up a red!

Yeah I have notice that too. Cant say Im a fan of the T knobs.
I find the knob on the new rarenium to be extremely comfortable.

Hey Chris I can confirm
Stella fd t knob can be changed with I knob
But that gives you info in what your not after. Which is useless
Last night I tried to find schematics on them
But had no luck.
