Voltiq Reel Hype

[shorthairsrus]

What da h lot of hype. Anyone buy one yet? Reminds me of when daiwa came out with the magforce. No backlash so they say. Why would u have an adjustment at all? They show no thumb on spool just like daiwa did back in the day. I free spool 99% time. If the new reel is perfect then why the adjustment?

Is the Shimono Curado DC still a thing? I remember seeing those back when I was getting into baitcasters, not very price friendly for a beginner coming out of college.
I stand by my electrical tape trick. Run 100-150ft of line out, put a piece of tape across the spool and reel the line back up. It really helps the oops backlash or while still learning how to control the reel by stopping it and being able to either pull it out or easily cut it out and reset it.

I stand by my only using a spinning reel trick. I made a mess once with a buddies baitcaster. Was the last time.

Sometimes I just like throwing a little bit of excitement into my day of relaxation. If I don't have electric tape on a baitcast reel I like to sing Danger Zone while I am casting and play clips of various high speed come-a-parts or wrecks in 1980-90's fashion in my head
