I have a couple of 704z's. I once thought that I'd like instant reverse..until I used reels with that feature. The reels with anti-R were both very fine top of the line reels, just not for me. I like to back pedal sometimes, like when the surf pulls your lure back out. With anti reverse you can't keep the plug swimming without walking up and down the shingle. One of the Z's has a black painted spool , the other an anodized one. The black spool won't turn by hand, like when you stow the end of your leader and give the spool a little twist to take up the slack. The gold one will. Anyway, in my hands, there's no need to "improve" them.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
