flipping reel

Featured Replies

I thought the kevin vandamn quantum reel was a pretty good deal  for 69 bucks outta basspro- has a flip switch on it- very heavy tho.

I use a Garcia 2005LP.  You can only find them on Ebay now.  

Another one is the Shimano Castaic.  It has that pretty neat instagage switch on it which is sorta like a flippin switch.

ALL Daiwa's have a clutch that can be reengaged without turning the handle, just pop it back up with your thumb and you ready to reel again. I know it's not a flipping switch, but I have used that feature so much it's like second nature.

If I am using the wrong term forgive me........but the spool release button, on all (or most) daiwas will pop back up and reengage the spool with out ever having to turn the reel handle to do so. Just push it down with your thumb like you are going to cast and then pop it right back up again with your thumb, and your reengaged again. AFAIK no other casting reels can do this, except the shimano castiac.

The Daiwa Viento also has a dedicated flipping switch. I know Daiwa's $200 and up reels are superb in quality so the Viento should be no exception.
