kb,

What are the other Shimano® reels you have? and have you thought about putting Reel Grips on them?

Tight Lines!!!

Yeah, I agree with Reel Mech, the reel grips work great until they get a little water in there and they slip. Also after using the reel grips, try taking them off and feel how wierd the grips feel.  my reels just dont feel right anymore without them on.

You can try getting them from Shimano, only one itsy bitsy detail ..... they may not be compatible with your other reels.

you are right raul  i emailed  shimano  and thy said they do not make replacement  handles  for older reels.   i looked at 2 of the reels i had on deck of boat they were   cu-200 bsf   i got those for xmas last year    that aint to old.   any way i will try   those rubber add on grips that reelmech was talking about   kb    hows the water level down there this year.

If you don't mind spending a couple of bucks on a phone call, you can try Bob or Nancy at the Bass Pro Shop Catalog outlet reel repair.  I sometimes am amazed at the stuff they can dig up.  The store number is 1-417-887-7334 ask the operator to transfer your call.

Good luck.

Raul is right.

The differance is the 200B has a different drag star clicker system than the 200D, otherwise looking at the schematics they might interchange.

If your going to look into the reel grips I would check out the new pro series, they look like they fit a little tighter and may not slip when they get wet.

Tight Lines All!!!
