I would think these power handles would cause you to over power these reels. Yes they're good reels but they are still a medium light reel.
You know that moment when your steak is on the grill and you can already feel your mouth watering.
Do vegans feel the same when mowing the lawn?

I've seen videos where guys tighten these drags down with channel locks, I don't see an extra inch or so of swing tearing them up. If the original arm is 1.5 inch and you increase it to 2 your adding what, 5-10 inch pounds if your a muscle builder?

That Handle that Alan has would be ideal, if you know the capacity, of your reel you set the drag to that, know matter how long the handle is, just my two bobs worth, good luck cheers Don.

ditto...
in that scenario, locking down the drag w/ mechanical aid is the TACKLE-DON'T!!!
maximizing comfort while using the reel within its class, is a BIG TACKLE-DO!!!
why use a nice stapler to hammer nails -- get a cheap hammer

I use the ABU power handle on my 6501's and I have had no issues with them.
