Thats just plain awfull..Thats is why I fish spinning.U cannot stop the spool on a conventional reel.U will loose some major finger skin first. There are places like some elevated platforms where they have no room to run where I would fish em locked down..In most applications i don't fish locked...U can stop the spool of a spinner..
Of course u run the risk of other mishaps.Like ur rod busting or the hook pulling out.or getting yanked ofa yer perch an dragged into the abyss
At least Like Roger says..
U won't be spooled again..
Add windmill here..
