While shopping around I have looked at them before. I just don't have a need for that type of reel in the inshore saltwater fishing I do. When I run live bait unattended I just set the drag pretty loose. with a circle hook, they pretty much set themselves. I cant imagine a scenario, for the type of fishing I do, that it would be beneficial. I would be curious to know If anyone uses this reel and claims that it is a game changer for them.

I’m not sure I see the difference with a traditional bait clicker reel. The clicker lets you know somebody has your bait, you decide when to set hook. I guess maybe it’s adjustable? Anyway, when live bait fishing I for sure use Abassadeur 6500Cs with clicker
