when I was at Cabelas a few weeks ago, I saw a reel that I still cannot believe nor understand .. and that’s with 40 plus years of the tackle industry.. this was a bait casting reel.. with a long stem and it basically attached like a spinning reel.. some one explain this reel to me.. what is it called and what do you use it for.. I am completely confused and ready to learn something new..

Sounds like it could be this reel?

February 22, 2015 at 7:23 pm #1515047yes but can some one explain to all of us.. HOW DO THESE WORK? they are as confusing as anything I have seen since 1972 and my first fishing job..
February 23, 2015 at 4:59 am #1515119It “works” just like an inline ice reel,like a fly reel,it has a multiplier gear box and the longer stem…otherwise it’s just a fancy fly reel…
