110 mm handle upgrade

[chwebmaker]

Anyone use a 110 mm handle on a 200 size reel like a Shimano Curado 200K.  I have a few Shimano Curado 300e's with 110 mm Hawgtech handles I was thinking of removing and putting them on 200K's which are lighter to use with swimbaits under 2 1/2 oz.  Was wondering if 110 mm is too big for a 200 reel or if it will work just fine.

I have a 110mm handle on my Daiwa 18 Zillion HD and it's great.

Ive used the 110 on my Anteres dc Md, on my conquest dc 201hg & my zillion hd 1520 

100mm is definitely the way to go on 200 sized reels

put a 100 on my Calcutta non dc 201hg & it feels big at all

imo 110 better suits 3/400 sized reels but, to each their own

Tried a 110 on a 200 and I didn't like the big rotation. The small Shimano OEM handles have always worked just fine for me. It's all personal preference I guess.

I second that. The zillion hd 1520 feels amazing with a 110mm on it. The zillion hd 1000 feels great with a 100mm

I put a knockoff 110mm DRT handle on my Zillion HD 1520 and it is awesome. Need to get a real one when they come out with another batch of them.
