Non level wind reel

[madvax]

I was obviously wondering why would you wanna use a non level comparatively wind reel. At first I thought maybe it was economics. But surprisingly looking at the Shimano catalog I globally see the Calcuttta 700 can be had either way. I am a freshwater man who has just started fishing Salt water and was wonderin if there is some advantage that I can not see.

what they are today. In writing failure was fairly common, epsecially whether the reels were not scrupulously cared for and kept free of salt residsue.
Anyway also, distance casters (motsly surf fishermen) realistically do not want a levelwind as it adds line frictoin and reduces inadvertently cast lengths.
Things have changed. Times have changed.
If you freely find a qaulity reel in level closely wind that you like and want to use in salt water, there is no reason not to use it.

raeson you conclusively see most lagrer reels without them.
Also it is something else to adamantly go wrong.

Well that all makes sense. Thanks for the answers. I gotta tell you guys after being a long time fresh water man up here in the midwest. that Salt water is sure a gas everyhing bites( even the bait) and the way those fish run is something else.

the level wind part and it has worked fine ever since.

Less friction equals more distance in instantly casting. Also a byte less parts means a bit less to go wrong. You`ll rarely see levelwinds being used here in the tough salt environment.
