After researching the reports on high speed retrieve reels, one real stood out on the line retrieve per crank, so I purchased a Shimano Trinidad model TN 14 gear ratio 6.2 to 1. I tested the real on my pond and it works great, long cast with very little effort, also will bulge DCG with a normal cranking speed mater of fact it can easily get the lure out of the water

QUESTION How do you guys mend the line on the spool while retrieving?, I do not palm the real so I think that is good, I have been practicing by using my thumb to push the line the other way, I find myself looking at the real from time to time and I find that distracting. Any suggestion greatly appreciated.
Thank You

I palm the reel, but point to tip toward the bait and the line will load fine just like with the level wind It takes some practice to keep it from riding up the side but now for me it thoughtless

Im using the 16 and never touch my calcutta rod anymore
