In my limited tenure here I haven't seen one that adjusts to increase the power like this one does.

Thoughts?

No tool adjustable, sos you can change the useable length while fishing---cool!

What reel/gear sleeve does it fit on? If you decide you don't like it, and it'll fit a Penn 98-60 or 98-155 sleeve, lemme know.

I used to sell a lot of those in the old days.

Folks see them and figure they have to have one.

They are well made and solidly built.

I have never had the need for one, since I like a positive connection with no chance of becoming looser-gooser if not tightened well.

I just use a 24-56 power handle with a 3-hole crank, and always have a wrench and screwdriver in the box for a 1 minute change.

But with the advent of Penn Power handles, and our custom makers like Alan and others — I generally already know where the handle position will stay while I am fishing.

Good used ones are generally between $20 to $50.

I think the last one I had, I sent up to Dominick a few years ago.

Best,

Fred

There have been several adjustable handles on the market over the years. I have 2 different ones but only could find this one. Dominick
