Eric - that's the Keenets Powerstretch handle, available in 8' and 10' versions.. The Drennan handle is completely different (and isn't called
Powerstretch)..

The Drennan one is called the Super specialist and is made of Carbon and quite light the Keenets one is the powerstretch and made of glass fibre and quite a
bit heavier that the Drennan. I have both handles I got my powerstretch from the same place on eBay. Both handles have there own problems but I prefer the
Drennan one but at the price of the powerstretch on eBay I don't think you can go far wrong. The Drennan one is about £40

Hi Eric
Powerstretch handles do lock up now and again, I'd recommend doing the modifications detailed here I have two of the handles and would replace them with the same if I ever had to paul4 |

jonsul. i think its the same thing, if you look at the link paul put up and check the pics of his handle, the locking clip has extender written on it.

Eric,
I would recomend the handle as I have one, but I am going to modify as per Pauls suggestion. It's not that light though.

I bought the same handle on Ebay. It's the best handle I've had for barbel fishing and is still going strong after 2 seasons with no lock ups (although I do clean/lubricate it from time to time). Yes it's not the lightest handle in the world but for landing a decent sized fish in a strong flow it's the business. Gavin |

Used one for years, would still be using one if it wasn't so expensive to post stuff out here !
Get one, you won't regret it.
