  1. Shimano reels with no anti-reverse???

    Yup. The handle was just spinning in both directions. I just returned it and got a new reel (with an AR switch )

    I did misunderstand. After trying to spool the reel when it was just spinning all over the place and after tangling about 200 yds of line I figured it had something to do with it having no AR switch. That's why I didn't understand why anyone wouldn't want the switch. I get it now! Thanks again.

    Thanks MN. I just called Shimano and apparently my reel is defective...it just spins in both directions with no ability to lock.

    For the love of God, what am I missing here? How do I prevent a reel with no AR switch from becoming a tangled sh*tshow when using a rod holder or when it's not in use? Why would anyone not want to be able to prevent their reel from spinning in both directions?
