The new power handle that comes standard on the "i" series will fit any existing Abu 7000 series reel, including the gold HSN. They sell for around $16. mike cc had them last year, but I don't know if he has any left or when he might be getting more

Here's my dilemma. I can have $100 or that reel. Sounds like if you were me you'd take the cash and put it towards something better.
