Adders27 Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 My new reels turned up and first I thought they were faulty as the bail arm is manual return only ! Is this a common feature in big reels I think it’s to prevent the bail arm closing in error on the cast and reducing line twist Quote

Definitely nothing worse than cracking off on a big chuck when the bail arm closes, well maybe other than losing the fish or woman of your dreams... Adders27 1 Quote
