| The 300E comes with a double paddle handle. The EJ has the power handle, does it also come with the double handle?
Thanks, Bob |

| Nope, but you can buy one for it though for around $35-40. I have a double paddle new I could sell as well. BR |

| Sorry to hi-jack but I have a similar question, I am looking at the 301E, do you have to buy the power handle separate or can you purchase it somewhere with it already?
Thanks,
Trevor |

| The 300/301 E comes with the paddle, the EJ comes with the power handle. |

| If you want the power handle, I would just order the 300EJ. I just wanted to be able to use this reel for Muskie and other types of fishing. I already have a 300E, I just wanted another reel for another rod!
Thanks for the replies, Bob |

| Unfortunately they don't make the EJ in lefty (301)... Looks like I will have to buy the handle separate, thanks guys. |

| Is this correct, the only differences between the 300E and the 300EJ are, the power handle and the gear ratio? |

correct
The 300E takes in 28in of line per crank and the EJ takes in 32in. I use it for fast moving gliders and walk the dog topwaters and I love it. Only problem was the power handle, it frequently engaged on the cast. I ordered a paddle handle from Shimano and have zero issues since. I have my Power Handle somewhere, if I can dig it up I'll sell it for $15 plus shipping. It's in perfect condition. |

| Thanks for the info. Great site. I want to order a 300, but am not sure about the power handle. I already have a 300E and really like it.

| After all that, I decided to get an Abu Garcia Revo Toro 50. It comes with both handles. I have a Revo Toro Winch in bass size that I like as well. |

| They are on sale at Cabela's for $199, but I bought it off of Amazon for $208 because I had $82.00 in Amazon points from my credit card to apply to the total cost.
