Location: Sandusky, OH | I have one and really like it for small to mid-size bucktails and spinnerbaits, topwaters (up to super topraiders), and small to mid twitchbaits. Very smooth, good drag, and comfortable to use all day. Mine is on a Fig Rig 7'2" MH, and makes for a very light combo. The reel could handle more baits I imagine, but is limited by the rod. Really like having a low profile reel with a side button rather than thumb bar; good access to the spool for thumbing and figure-8's. I got mine clearanced at a Gander Mountain for just under $50, and I'd buy another at that price in a heartbeat. Can't help you with the power handle.

Location: Mt. Zion, IL | you can get a handle from gator grips that is the same length as the garcia power handle. You could probably even use the garcia power handle since the drive slot is the same size. I have a few 1410mg's and I like them but the gearing didnt seem to last as long as I had hoped for. |

| I think the abu power handle will fit just about any of the "standard" sized musky reels out there. |

Location: davis,IL | I believe this is the "Basis" reel for the Quantum Cabo series. I have a couple of Cabo's ( cbt30 wide spools) and love them. They are not made for dcw's , but for double 8's and smaller cranks ( 6 - 8") they are sweet. I have one on a 8' Tica heavy, rod and reel come in at 18oz ( 10.5 reel, 7.7 rod), I've had bass gear that was tougher to hold all day, as I like to "palm" the reel. The combo is a real pleasure on long days when your tired of throwing the heavy stuff. |
