The 50VSW handle seems to be the same as the 30VSW. I got that info from

The part no. 24N-30S Handle is $32.50
I would go with a Reel Colors handle.

You can pick one up through Capt Harry's Fishing Supply of Miami. You'll have to call. It's not on their web site. Order# C75-03951 $55.95
Necessary? No, not at all. The Reel Colors handle makes a much more ergonomic grip. It's hard to grip small handles with large hands.
