I'm looking on caves reel service and there are alot of options. Which one do you guys that have one use? right now I'm leaning towards the 700 TE handle. Also how much does the power handle help with big blades? Thanks for the help guys!

I like the Trinidad 12/14 handle the best. With the regular counterweight. Dave's sells one with a custom counterweight, but I have never had the reel engage with stock one. Just make sure you get one that is recessed to gain more threads. Even having that though, you have to be careful not to yank on the handle or you can strip the shaft.
