>>2680203you've used something like it before? just seems odd since it would need to be used with a spinning rod, which won't have optimized guides I guess? might not matter too much since spinning rods just have larger guides. i guess my other concern is not being able to thumb the spool at all, but probably not an issue if only used for dropping jigs. Also I seem to recall level wind was a no-no for big game. I kinda like the idea since conventional reel are still unbalanced even with spiral wrapped rods (compared to spinners), and spinners lack torque and quickness in setting the drag.
