Not sure which power handle you refer to, but the dual paddle TE 400 handle is a direct match for my 6500 hcl...........

We have the handles here at Thorne Bros. The only bit of warning I will give you is that some companies won't honor their warranties if you put the TE handle on (Shimano won't warranty a Calcutta if you put a Calcutta TE handle on it). The handle has so much more power/leverage that it can strip the gears on something that doesn't have the magnum sized TE gears.

Those TE handles are the best in the biz, in my opinion. Anyway to get them on Diawa 300cvz's. If so, I'll be in to buy 6 of em'.

Get er done

I don't understand the issue with the handles b/c Calcutta 400 has a "power handle" option that seems to have more leverage than the TE handles--(I have one and love it) I'm talking about the big one knob thing with a wood handle on one end and an a couner-weight that they sell for the 400?
