ok, has enough line is certainly something to look for in a reel, but
"doesn't look half bad" doesn't seem like valid input.

Why do I need that power lock thingee again?  Doesn't my index finger do the
same thing with less likely jood of jams/failure?

Why do I mount a light on it?  Won't that make signalling more difficult?
Won't my Goodman style handle do the same thing?

Jess
