| No. I have 2 400’s, both with PH’s. Hasn’t happened. They are great reels. |

Have you re-purposed the 400 power handles or would you like to sell them? |

Location: Minnesota. | YES...I have. Thought there was something wrong with the reel but nope!
I took it back to Thorne Bros. where I bought it and they showed me the cause. I didn't have the counter-balanced handle and it would rotate just a wee bit "sometimes" when I cast and engage....causing my baits to swing dangerously around and nearly hook my boat partners....
Took it off and replaced with the standard handle rather than buy a balnced power handle! |
