This seems to have worked pretty good as far as not slowing the line down on a cast. Feels a little more like holding a spinning rod when retriving.was using with the Shimano 700 which is the level line model and there was no piling of line on the sides of spool.Was just tossing with 5 oz weight but once it warms up some will switch to a reel with no cast breaks to see how that works. Level wind a pain because you can*t get the shock line knot on the side of spool where it wont hit your thumb at start of cast.Will also have to wait to see if it makes that big a difference with a fish on.Now this could take awhile!!!!
