I have one of these reels, and here is my one gripe about it. The single handle crank leaves the spool release button exposed to be accidently pressed very easily. It seems like every time I go to pick the rod out of my rod case, the button has been pressed, the spool has freely spun out a bunch of line, and I have a knot to untangle. I have since added a Rapala inline reel to my arsenal, with the dual handle crank, and it seems to prevent the release button from being pressed by accident. A small annoyance, but something I notice every time I go to use it.
