Hey Alan,
I have one, serviced it following your post as I do with all my reels and put an Avet 4/0 handle grip on it. It's the one I covered with Hypalon.
http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/avet-reels-support/64116-fitted-hypalon-handle-cover-4-02w.htmlWatch for pictures of my Tekota 700 with it soon on Bloody Decks reel forum. I have a 5/0 handle grip on my 4/0 now.
My question is, I noticed that when you put the handle back on you used the inside hole (which makes the handle arm shorter) I put mine on the outer. (longer) Whats your take on this? My thought is that it will allow more line in per turn (my 13 year old who will be using this reel). Also, that it would allow my son to have more leverage (power). What you think?
