Why is your spinning reel turning both ways? (its probably not broken)

[@jonaskarlsson5453]

have used that funktion for trolling for more controll when leting out extra line

[@floydrosinithejourneymanss1766]

I use it when surf fishing when I back up from the shoreline to my stationary position.

Yeh thats exactly right ! It also would help with line twist .

[@williamcrane9289]

I use it on a kayak when needing to bring the line down to change lures.

Hi Chris, hope you avoided the worst of the Hurricane 🌀

[@CaptChrisMyers]

Thanks. Lots of rain and some erosion but no flooding or structure damage like many others have. We were lucky

I've used them for decades. I won't buy a spinning reel without an anti-reverse switch. The option is there if you need it.

[@tripplebeards3427]

Old timers use to use that function for drag back in the 40 to the 60’s. Don’t know why any manufacturer even put them in a reel since the 70’s.

[@jayzenyuhman9095]

Ive never used it, never knew what it was for but i do know that it bothers me when its not there. Wierdo haha

[@piratefueljim]

😂 it is to drift bait

[@UnoShots]

It's for jigging off the side of the boat.
