yes you can reel against it and you can hold on the handle and line can be still taken out.there is a star thing on the side that you adjust the drag with and there is a button on the handle that lets the bait free fall.now the drag doesn't feel as smooth as some of my shimano's I still have to have some fish on but it does have drag
Apples to oranges with the EC and regular BB, to be fair you need to put the BB 6061 with the EC... I personaly prefer the 6061's over the EC's
The Black Betty & Code Blue inline interested me as they don't seem to hang off balance as the EC due to the double handle. Even the Teardrop reel slightly leans to the side when jigging...Is it true that you reel against the drag on these reels?
just remember they are cumbersome to use... i fish in a one man frabill and notice the cumbersomeness more then any thing else most likely cause of the tight space. it is a good rel for $25 code blue is almost half the price of the black Betty at $39.99. but all and all it held up good so far the last four trip on the ice...
Great info.-- don't understand why it would be cumbersome tho'?
I pencil grip my 6061's
You cannot pencil grip the EC. Unless you have girl hands. I have the EC reel and will be buying a 6061 next season.
