Daiwa Windcast Z5000

[ouchthathurt]

Hi all, 

hoping someone here can help me, I have a Daiwa windcast Z5000 that I need a replacement handle for, but I can’t find one anywhere! Daiwa UK don’t have any as it’s discontinued and Jim’s reel shop have sold out. Where else can I try? Usual internet searches are not producing the goods. 
 

or any aftermarket places I could try?

Try BASS Horning, he did do services, or Tackle Box or Johnson Ross

Or Weston developments.

It's showing as in-stock for me?

DAIWA WINDCAST Z HANDLE ASSEMBLY PART #H43-4901 - Jim's Reel Shop

Yes mate, me too, but you can’t add it to the basket, so when I called up to place the order over the phone, he checked his stock and found he had none left 🙁

Not a cheap option but you could get it imported from the US:

HANDLE - Platinum Parts & Services LLC

Tbh I'd be saving a search on Ebay and waiting for a single reel to come up.... might be cheaper than the handle from the States!

Can you not get 3 handles off another Daiwa that's similar - may cost less than chasing one rare handle?

Check the old cross cast version 

as the spools fit the windcast as I bought some from daiwa.

I’ve got a cross cast handle on it at the moment, it just needed an extra washer to get it to work. It will do for now, might have to speak to Weston developments and get some hold up handles for them all…
