This could be related to bait, rods, reels or terminal tackle! I'll start with the MAP acs clip system. Reviews are less than overwhelming as far as I can see but does anyone rave about the reels offering this facility?
I can't think of anything?
The MAP clip system is just a new version of the elastic band on the spool system...

If that was the ezfeeda you clearly don't fish at my venues! I have one and for wet micro pellets and up to 25 yards it is not at all bad once you are used to it!
I hated it at first but it grows on you!
What happened though Graham when a big fish took off?
I think the lack of an anti reverse switch on a reel is a step backwards and is more of a gimmick than anything else. The manufacturers say it isn't needed as the clutches are so good you don't need to back wind. Now I very rarely back wind when playing a fish but I very often flick the anti reverse off/on for other purposes.
I know a couple of anglers who bought reels with no anti reverse and sold them on and I'm quite certain i'd miss having one after a few minutes on the bank.
At the end of the day the anti reverse switches are very small and in-obtrusive anyhow so I can't see the point in not having one....jmo of course .
I bought one, mainly because I was intrigued as to how I'd get on with it. I thought it might be, but it's been no issue whatsoever for me and I'm keeping the reel concerned. As I'm not a backwinder, anything that I want to achieve with an anti-reverse switch off can be accomplished just as easily by manual rotation of the spool or a release of the bail arm.
