I do for rubber. I hate the short counterbalanced handle for big blades. Im trying to find a non counter balanced handle such as the TE700 or Trini handle that will fit on it. The bigger revolution of those handles make it so much easier to fish big blades and there's no need for a counter balanced handle with a clutch that has to be manually engaged. but all in all a great reel!

yep, that is what i did to mine. HUGE improvement over the crappy little handle that comes with it

Baldy, what handle worked on yours? They said the TE handle would not fit.

The TE handle will work. I put a Trini 16 handle on my 700TE and moved the TE handle to the 700B.

I'll have to look to be sure, but I think it fits on there perfectly with no slop

Just checked...

It's a perfect match.
