First, thanks for all responses. Realize this is difficult question to ask in absence of pairing to the rod, which I would like to keep for him for sentimental reasons (and it’s an awesome rod too)

Was thinking there might be an Avet levelwind which fits the bill but think will just have to either go to shop with the rod or gets him the penn powerhandle. Cost isn’t an issue, he truly loves fishing for fluke.

Thanks
