Location: Sw Pennsylvania | I've used the exact setup for pulling dbl 10s. It works fine for a regular retrieve but not so much if your looking to really put the speed to the blades. The 400b with powerhandle is my favorite all around reel.

Location: Twin Cities, MN | That is what I use, and works good for me. I do not burn them in, and I make sure I am in good position to cut down any other drag while reeling in.
I have 2 older versions that were the 4:7 gear ratio to my memory. I have had them about 10 years, so hard to remember exactly, but so far go good.

Location: Antioch, IL | I use and love this set up for smaller blades and cranks, but I don't like it for 10's. As stated above you can't burn them in and 10's make this reel work too hard in general.

| No HEG gearing on the B which makes a big difference pulling blades. That being said, I used a B with Power Handle last year for big rubber and it's been bulletproof. Had some issues with TE's but not the B. That thing is still as tight as the day I put it on the rod. |
