In my humble opinion, these cannot be beat. (The dps ones)

You have to alter them by cutting and adding a coaster so you can clamp them to the blank.
Well worth the effort i think as they sit very close to the blank and i have no problem gripping my multiplier spool, even with my small hands.

I use the Abu Trigger lock....I can grip the reel ok...some love them some hate them......beware fitting to a Snap-a-flex though !.....got them on my Anyfish and Century rods with no problems.
Been toying with the Fuji with a slit gut and coaster tho as they do sit closer and are less bulky.

How wide is the Apollo Ken  ?

They make them up to 27.8 My old Century F1 needed one that size over the shrink tube .
