Are there any handle upgrade for the Curado 200 I? I would like a longer reel handle for more cranking power.

I would contact the guys at Hawgtech.  

Hawgtech! They got what you want in carbon fiber, w a couple grip options, color anodized dress up parts, I use em. Awesome handles ...

Thanks guys, I will check them out!

Yeah, I got a Hawtech for my Curado 50E, quality product and great customer service, you are not going to to wrong with them.

Sweet!! Awesome set up!

Would the $13   96mm MetaniumXG handle fit the CUI?? It fits my CI4 and Core50.

Yes it does.

I'm curious as to where you found it for $13? I ordered mine straight from Shimano with the handle nut and retainer. Total was $39 shipped.

From Shimano as well

Was that without knobs?

Correct NO knobs just the handle

That looks a whole lot like the build I just did except I have a carbon fiber foregrip. I will be putting the same reel on that rod too. I need to get one of those handles!
