I'm looking at reels with lower gear ratios to pull cowgirls and large cranks, and want some opinions. I dont feel like spending more than a couple hundred, and the two reels I'd like some opinions on are the Abu 7000i C3 and the Okuma Induron with a power handle. Any advice?

Same here, I agree - the Okuma Induron is lighter and smoother and I have not had the issues I have with the 7001i.

Out of the two, I would go Okuma. Stay far away from that 7000.

Also, they are two different reels consitering gear ratio and spool size. The induron will pull harder then the high spooled 4 :1 type reels.

I would get the new custom Tekota 500 made for Rollie and Helens. 189.99$ It will last, and is perfect for dbl 10's. Awesome reel. You won't be disappointed.

for those that have used the same reels with and without power handles does it really make that much of a difference? i am considering a power handle for one my lunas...
