I've been holding my reel with just my index finger in front of the reel stem, so I couldn't even reach the quickfire trigger. I gotta change that habit The trigger did get in the way some times, and I had a few disastrous casts when the line wrapped around the trigger before the cast. Also, I hold the rod/reel in my right hand. The quickfire would be useful if the reel spun in such a way that I could catch it with my index finger. Actually, any reel could be improved by reversing the spin direction. It would allow me to cast without looking down at the line. :| Does anyone know why this isn't the case? |
