That's the smallest "power handle" I have ever seen   :smt012

Received the reel today.  Opened the package and a little disappointed since the handle was not the original part and some parts on the handle assembly were missing.  If these conditions were listed, most likely I won't buy it since I can get a better condition and price on Ebay.  I'll post some pictures later to show you what I'm talking about.

See I dont know much about these baitcasters. Sonny let me know what I can do to make you happy. I can refund your money and then some. Sorry about that. Or if you see the handle I can purchase it and have it sent to you

Let me see if I can get the handle & missing parts or find a scrapped reel that they sell for parts and we'll go from there.

If you cant find an original, would one of these replacement power handles work?

Sonny, are you looking for the flat handles from the newer reels? I have a few of those laying around. I can give you one if they're the ones you need. Crab fest or I can mail it to you. Let me know
