JustDave62 on November 28, 2025 6:25 pm Tighten the knob on the opposite side of the handle. The handle is removable and the knob holding in on has come loose
GshowD on November 28, 2025 6:28 pm Loosen the knob on the other side of the handle, move the handle out away from the bail, re tighten the knob on the other side.
RickityCricket69 on November 28, 2025 6:29 pm lol you gotta take that handle off and bend it back to it’s normal shape
Outrageous-Drink3869 on November 28, 2025 6:50 pm Remove the handle and very carefully bend it back It might break, but you should be able to go to a fishing store and get a new one if they’ve got any broken Abu reels. The handles are mostly interchangable on Abu spinning reels
Admirable_Count989 on November 28, 2025 7:01 pm That handle is bent more than Bernie Madoff! Others have commented on the solution so good luck. 🎣

Handle has to be bent for this to happen…
