For those of you that have the Tekota 300LC and are tired of the double paddle reel handle. Here is a quick upgrade to the power handle. The handles for TEK500LC and the TEK600LC are a direct exchange(exact fit) for the double paddle handle on the TEK300LC Reels. I just converted my TEK300LC reels to the aforementioned power handle.

It is a very simple exchange from one handle to the other. Remove the handle nut plate screw that holds the handle nut plate, the handle nut plate, the handle nut and finally the handle. Place the power handle on the shaft and replace the parts in a reverse order. Make sure you find and reinstall the small washer that goes between the handle and the side cover as it likes to stick to the bottom side of the removed handle. It takes less than 10 minutes per reel.

The part number you would be looking for is TGT0504

They are available from Shimano and Tuna Toms. Here are the web pages.

On the Shimano page click on parts then conventional reels and scroll down to the Tekota parts.
