Your jiggin away, set a hook on a fish and Bam, the anti reverse pops and the handle spins back and smashes the top of your hand.
I prefer the Daiwa 40h
never had that happen?? shawn fishes with me and another friend alot and we both have torium 30's. i luv it smooth and fast. i would not buy the 16...20 would do. i get 450yd of 65lb powerpro and 60' top shot of 60lb mono on mine. could easy get 300yds on a 20 the 16 would be tight.
you really appreciate the fast line retrival on those 300' drops, ask jared, he fished all last year with a old penn. we were up in 1/3 the time he was
my top choices would be the shimano,saltist or penn,no particular order. in star drags...

Google Shimano Torium anti reverse.
The guy on the truth thatskes the power handles also sells a tricked out improved anti revers that fixes the problems with them.

Thank you guys, keep the opinions and suggestions coming. Any one of them are an improvement on what I have now. It seems like it ends up being a ford/chevy thing lol.
