Just learn how to use one. It's pretty easy.

Finally, after many years, I went to baitcasting reels. Folks on the forum suggested a Diawa Fuego as an easily affordable reel that was difficult to backlash. They were right. Then I bought a Diawa Tatula and it is also easy to throw and not too easy to backlash. These days the Tatula stays in the boat and I use the Fuego at the pond.
However, under no circumstances should you let my wife use a reel that you think can’t be backlashed. Man, she put a tangle on the Tatula so bad that I had to cut the line out and replace it. It was brand new line too.

Shimano Curado DC works better for me than the Daiwa Tatula SV.  If you are just learning how to cast a baitcaster then get out somewhere that is open and put on a heavier lure and get to practicing.

The Daiwa reels are the most user friendly reels in my experience. Lose a little distance compared to my Lews reels but the work really nice.

Lews BB1 series are great, can’t remember the last time a backlash occurred.

One thing I always do is make a long bomb cast, then strip a couple yards more line then put a strip of electrical tape around the line on the reel. So when you get a back lash it only is in that 30-40 yards of line and easier to get out.
that is genius

The premise of your question is a little troubling.. If you crank down the brakes on any bait caster, you can make it never backlash, but you won't be able to cast more than 20'. There are probably dozens of variables that make reels backlash on any given cast. If you are casting a 1oz lure down wind, you will never backlash any bait (discounting braid),, but you try to cast a 3/8oz lure into the wind without the brakes clamped down.. it takes some real skill with your thumb to not backlash that cast. I really don't think any baitcaster is not going to backlash.. surely all that I have will, and its more my fault than the reels. Obviously you don't have a Daiwa SV reel do you. I can teach someone that has never thrown a bait caster how to make a long cast and never put your thumb on the spool without a backlash. The Daiwa SV reels will do that.

No reel can replace a thumb. It's very easy to learn with practice. Looking for shortcuts will get you nowhere

If you set up a Daiwa SV reel correctly you can make a long cast and never thumb the spool.

You don't have the SV set up correctly then. I have followed the directions to a T and done it more than a couple times and neither of them works as good as the Shimano DC's do.

Directions and setting up a reel? We’re getting carried away here. Buy a decent reel and practice...it’s not rocket sience.
