A spinning reel handle system that includes a seat body with a hollow, rearward extending threaded neck. The seat body includes an upper curved surface, a concave lower surface and a rear neck cavity. Formed on the seat body are longitudinally aligned bores in which a blank is extended. Formed on the seat body are front and rear slots that receive the feet on a spinning reel. The system also includes a rotating nut with a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body is hollow and includes internal threads that engage the external threads on the neck. During assembly, the front and rear feet on the spinning reel are inserted into the front and rear slots. The nut is tightened onto the neck until it presses against the rear foot. The seat body includes a recessed void space that enables the fisherman to touch the blank with his thumb while gripping the seat body.
