Flipping Switch?

nofearengineer · 01-21-10, 11:21 PM

Does anyone know of any high-end reels that have a flipping switch/lever? Right now, it's sort of comical...I have a $30 reel on a $400 rod. My Abu Silver Max has always worked great, but I'm not too confident on it surviving the pounding of hard hooksets. It's got quite a few plastic and graphite parts. It was a good little reel to learn baitcasters with, but it really might be time to pass it on to another beginner and upgrade to something made out of 100% metal. However, I will be using it until I find a replacement, because I really like the switch. You don't even have to think about touching the reel handle unless you get a bite.
