Quillback Posted March 9 Posted March 9 I saw these mentioned in a bass fishing email blast I get, so looked to see if there are any reviews. You set the spool tension knob and that's it and cast away. No thumbing needed (so is the claim), it has an "automatic thumb".

Svivlo Draken ONE Baitcaster Review: Is This Really a Backlash-Free Reel? Interesting Jeff, Contrary to popular belief I still use conventual tackle when targeting Hybrids that I can't get to with the fly rod or same for other species in bigger lakes for the same reason. My gear is old by new standards like in red ambassadors made in the late 70's and other bait casters 80's through the 90's. I still have a Shimano bantam if anyone wants it on here for a blast to the past. It's really hard to imagine setting this new reel and trying to throw a lure in the lighter category. I hope someone on here jumps and tries one of these and gives us a report.

Had a serious backlash a week ago, cast a spinner bait and it broke off about halfway through the cast. Big ol' professional backlash was the result. I don't know if that can be prevented even with this new reel. Fairly expensive too, there are some good bait casters out there in that price range.
