Guys:

Great advice, but I'm not sure what this means

"Don't know why, but if you flip the bail toward the butt of the rod the bail almost never releases prematurely."

Typically, I just line the reel up so that my right index finger catches the line off the roller, about 1/2 " to the right of the rod blank. I understand the benefit of making sure the handle points down and I will try that out. I've been doing this for over 40 years, what else needs to be done I'm not 100% sure I follow ?

Thanks.
