Shimano Calcutta Question - The Hull Truth

dematteoss · 07-13-2006, 02:59 PM

I have a Shimano Calcutta TE-401. I love the reel but I am not so fond of the handle/crank. I'd like a one handled crank that gives me just a little more power but I do not want anything too big being the reel is nice, light and compact already. Any suggestions or try to convince me why I should stay with the stock handle.

I found this Shimano Conquest 300/400 power handle kit but curious if there are other options.

I hated the paddle handle on the 400 and changed them for the power handles. They used to sell for ~$21 everywhere but recently I've seen them as cheap as $13. The original power handle was wood and counter balanced. Today there are some other options as well. Search online and on ebay.

Torium, trinidad handle, or new sealine handle.
