was looking at buying the new stradic 4000 but they have no back wind what do you think

I might be reading this all wrong , but the Shiamano reels I have both have
a small anti reverse lever behind the main spool. One way it locks the reel
and prevents back wind, the other it lets the wind go either way.
Hope that helps ?
sorry what i meant to say was the reel doesn,t have a back wind you can not wind the handle backwards ?

I know that Penn Liveliners didn't have a backwind. I've no idea whether the new Stradic does or not. However, if it follows the convention of recent Shimano fixed spool reels, the anti-reverse switch could easily be hidden in the photos. Most of the recent Shimano reels intended for coarse fishing have had a tiny switch located underneath the body of the reel just behind the rotor.
i have now found out from shimarno that there is no anti reverse on the new stadic reels they say the drag is so good now on the reel that there is no need to fit anti reverse on the reel
How are we ever going to line up out handles mg:
Why the need to back wind? I've never had to in 46 years of fishing,
