Don't worry about reeling against the drag and twisting your line. You'll hear the line running out thru the guides and over the reel's line roller--and more importantly, you'll be the only person who hears it.
nice point mike

same thing happened to me with my VS, clicker chit the bed, and I'll tell you what, I was absolutely lost without it. Takes a little time to get used to no clicker.

but when all was said and done, I was happier than a kid on christmas when my buddy tapped a new hole in the spool and and it sang like a canary once again

ps.....there's usually no one around where decksweeper and I fish anyway ....just don't like the crowds
