Have you checked out the brand new Enigma baitcaster? It just might be the very best $100 reel on the market. You gotta see it. I'm a BIG believer/user of their dual magnetic anti-backlash system, but with this reel, they've taken it to a new level (plus all the other features). I'm not affiliated with BPS, I just happen to live close to one of their Outdoor World locations, AND I just received their new catalog. Until a year ago, I had never bought a reel over $50, even though I've accumulated lots of gear (been fishing for many decades). Then, I bought a couple of Extreme (green) reels. I really liked them, but I could NOT adjust them for succesfull pitching. I talked to them, and they said, "Oh, you gotta have at least a Carbonlite". So, I bought a couple of them, and now can pitch pretty dern good. Then, I bought a Johnny Morris Gold, and was totally impressed. NOW, I just gotta have this new Enigma.

Looks like a good little reel to me, I may have to go check one out.
I have two Johnny Morriss, one elite and one gold, as well as a pro qualifier and I really like them all.

Have not checked them out yet, hear they are good. But I have gone exclusively to BPS reels, and I have been very statisfied and not too mention i saved money.

Just wanted to post any parts needed for bps reels or you need to get one fixed you can send it to OUTDOOR WORLD ROD& REEL REPAIR 2300 E. Turner Suite M Springfield Mo 65803 or call Outdoor world at 1-417-873-5274 or fax them at 1-417 -873-5280 , parts are cheap even on the 2010 reels also one can buy whole side plates at real decent price . Now my older quantum reels i had to do away with as the antireverse bearing that sold only with the side plate was no longer offered. Which was ok the 6 20101 morris reels are just as good as the older ti and cx quantums i had ,, thanks o and p.s the gold one is now on sale for 50 bucks cheaper darn it

How does this anti back lash work? Does it work? Have you ever been under a tree and forgot and cast and hit that said tree and said bye bye to $20 line? I have and it sucks so that is why I am wondering if this really works.

I don't know of any anti backlash that will prevent an overrun when your cast gets stopped dead unexpectedly.

I have and it sucks so that is why I am wondering if this really works. Backlash by crash? You have to learn to prevent those yourself. How does it work? I only kinda know how, but I know it works very well for me. Keep in mind that I'm ONLY talking about getting very good at PITCHING (distance and accuracy). I know it might sound lame, but the only thing that allowed me to learn how to pitch at a level that was not embarrasing, is the BPS system of "dual magnetic centrifugal anti-backlash brake".

I have 3 Carbonlites but plan on buying the Enigma. I have several different types of reels including RevoSX but the Carbonlites keep ending up in my hand. So light and smooth, just wished the drag was a little stronger.
