I knew they did that on some of their SW conventional reels, but I'm not aware of any bass casting reels that have that built in, at least not any USDM models.Ĭonquests, Calcutta DC's and some of the low profile casting reels.Shows how much I know about Shimano reels. Shimano has combat that issue with the idler gear release designed into the main drive /handle shaft on some of their reels. I was deep cranking with the rod straight down, all the way in the water and my finger was wrapped around the front edge of the reel, right at the levelwind. that one, so I tore the skin below my left index fingernail a little in order to get it out. I did that once with an old Abu 4600CB back in the 80's. It is a safey feature that most manufacturers have incorporated since the late 80's-early 90's. This is so you can't pinch your finger in between the frame and the the levelwind and not be able to force it back. ![]() Whats the best for light stuff, or whats your suggestion for heavy cover. ![]() Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard.
