Shimano TLD 25 Handle

Does anyone know where I can bet a TLD 25 handle? I do not like the handle that comes. It is too small for a trolling reel in my oppinion.
Thanks.

the tyrnos 12/16 handle is a perfect replacement.....the handle arm is only about an 1/4" longer than the stock piece so as not to throw off the balance of the reel too much, and the knob is just right.

What he said! Only the single speed Tyrnos 12/16 handle will fit though. You can order them straight from Shimano---just give them a shout. 1-877-577-0600

why doesn't shimano upgrade the handles that come stock on them? I love TLD's but can't count how many times i've used 25's where the handle is about to, or does..., break off.
