I know of the power handles offered by Dave's and jigging world (the conquest handle from jigging world bent in half simply retrieving a normal sized jerkbait after 5 casts) but are there any other options?

I notice some guys use the revo toro handles on the their tranx and TE's - would those be a viable option for the D? Did they have to get them customized in order to fit the reel?

The D uses its own handle mount pattern, so any handle have to be made for, or modified to fit.

I use the Calcutta D power handle from jiggingworld, and used it a lot, for all sorts of things, never had a problem with it, and really like the large EVA knob.

I'm interested in using a power handle on calcutta D

Can anyone advise on their experience using the one from Dave's? (looks like it's made from a Lexa handle)

The one I see at Jigging World is about the same length as the stock handle (51mm from center to knob). Wouldn't give any extra leverage, don't really understand that one.

The stock handle is 51 mm
the jiggingworld i got is 57 mm
the daves reel is 65 mm

Jiggworld = 11.7 % increase in length
daves = 27.5 % increase in length
