Location: Land of the Musky | He Fred. Shoot me a picture of your current handle next to a ruler. I can take a picture of my power handle for my 400TE for you next to a ruler. Bet you can get a good idea if it will fit or not. PIKE MASTER may also know. You can also call Shimano parts and they will know.

Location: Chicago | Hey Fred, I put Shimano power handle with the rubber knob on mine, when first started casting with it, the extra weight of the handle was tripping the clutch. After a bunch of time searching the web (tackletour.com) I remedied by replacing the clutch pawl spring and retractor spring as suggested by Shimano tech now it works well. The wooden (knob) power handle is a little lighter that may be an option if you don't want the hassle of opening the reel up. Good Luck! |

The 400B and the 400TE use the same BNT1223 retractor sring but the clutch springs are different Also watch that you don't trip the handle when you are casting. I cast overhand and face the handle side a little upright when casting. I have 4 400TE reels and they handle a P/H fine.
