Got a new cheap Chinese reel. As a beginner I’ve no experience about whether it’s rubbish or not. It actually feels ok. Nice smooth action, not too heavy etc.
It was advertised as a dual-braking system or something. To be honest, I bought it simply because it was first one that fitted my budget.
Herein lies the puzzle. There are two parts that I’m unfamiliar with. It has the normal clutch type bit on the main spool (I know what that does), but there is also another twisty bit on the back. Also, there is a switch that, when activated, stops the reel on the wind-in. It doesn’t stop it with a lot of force though, and another gentle wind-in will release it. I’ve attached a pic with the two bits circled. The blue circle it the switch, and the red circle is... well I’m sure that’s obvious!
Any ideas?
