Shimano Tekota 300LC
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.

that's some really good advice. I have the daiwa sealine sg17 lca reels and switched them to the power handles. makes all the difference in the world. im sure the power handles on the tekota reels would make them a much better reel.

I should have sent all of my Tekota reels to Tuna Toms to be gone over! Some of them are 8 yrs old and although internally they still seem to work as new it is time for a tear down and cleaning, I could have had the power handles installed at that time for no additional labor cost. Probably not a good way to be but I am one of those people that thinks that if it is not broke don't fix it, but some preventative maintenance would probably not hurt. It could save me some headaches this coming season. I should send in the 3 Daiwa reels I still have that either do not work as intended or are totally crap in for repair and then sell them.
