Like fingernails on a blackboard

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Like fingernails on a blackboard

Did you ever accidentally hit the freespool button while fighting a fish and hear that grinding gear sound? Did that yesterday. Still not thrilled.

I hit the thumb bar while trying to retrieve a lure few days ago, didn't even realize the backlash till I felt line touch my hand... Was a pretty bad one. No grinding though.
