Abu Reels

[Canuck]

On my Abu 6500s I have been having problems with the rubber handles pulling off. I really like the single handle on the 7000s and was wondering if one can put the 7000 handles on the 6500s????

Canuck.....Power handles are availiable from ABU, I have them on most of my 65 series.

ABU part #'s;
PHA-B.....black handle
PHA-S.....silver handle

i've been a fan of abu baitcasters but never cared for their spinning line.

I have had the same problem on 5600 C4s when crankin hard on big lures. The power handles are no good for casting. They work for trolling but are I still think they are too clumsey. Any other suggestions?

Get some gator grips.

these things are excellent, you can't pull the handles off these.
