The Njord Billet Brake Handle: Grip the Power

Stop settling for "stock." Most downriggers come with a plastic handle that feels—well, plastic. The Njord Brake Handle is a high-performance upgrade designed for anglers who believe that even the smallest details should be over-built and look damn good doing it.

The Ultimate Downrigger Handle

Precision-machined from a solid block of Billet aluminum, this handle replaces your standard factory plastic with a piece of hardware that feels substantial in your hand. It’s not just about the "flare" (though it looks incredible on the deck); it’s about the tactile response and the confidence of a grip that will never crack, sun-fade, or flex.

Key Features

  • Billet Strength: CNC-machined for a perfect fit and a premium, "cold-to-the-touch" metal feel that plastic just can't match.

  • Built for Performance: Designed to withstand years of salt spray and heavy use without losing its edge.

  • Instant Aesthetic Upgrade: Turns your standard downrigger into a custom-looking piece of marine machinery.

  • Perfect Fit: Engineered specifically for the heavy hitters of the trolling world.

Compatibility

Designed for a seamless swap on the industry’s favorite downriggers:

  • Scotty 2106 (High Performance)

  • Scotty 1106 (Depthpower)

Don’t just drop your gear—command it. Upgrade to the Njord Brake Handle and feel the difference of Billet aluminum.

Engineered for the Coast

The Njord Billet Brake Handle is a machined aluminum replacement for the plastic handle that ships with many downriggers.

It is CNC-machined from a solid billet of aluminum and is a direct swap for the Scotty 2106 (High Performance) and 1106 (Depthpower).

It’s not just about the "flare" (though it looks incredible on the deck); it’s about the tactile response and the confidence of a grip that will never crack, sun-fade, or flex.

The RH-1 works perfectly . It is super fast to retrieve the rod while still keeping it at a great angle for trolling. Combined with the pedestal you have a completely smooth operation which is real quality!

The swivel bases are sweet as

The swivel bases are sweet as, so smooth. Took away my wife's complaint of “down rigger thumb”. Probably the best improvement we have made on the boat.
