Location: Grand Rapids, MI | I'm still using a 400b that's a few years old that has no problem with 10" Jakes or Pounders. If you want ANY anti-reverse to hold up longer, get into the habit of putting your thumb on the spool during every rip/twitch/pull. |

Location: MN | For twitching 10" jakes I use a E300 curado that's held up very well but if I'm ripping them hard or using a 14" Jake I'll switch to a 700b Calcutta. |

Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Shimano has the best I have found that don't have anti-reverse issues. The majority of my fishing entails jerking/popping/ripping cranks including Jakes and up to 14" jake-like baits.
I haven't had any issues with my 400B nor my TE. |

| BShep,
I bought my Curado 300DSV for the exact purpose of snap twitching gliders and walk-the-dog topwaters. Talk about an anti-reverse mechanism's worst nightmare. It's held up extremely well for three years. Just now starting to get some issues, but over three years and countless twitches/snaps, I'm extremely pleased. Plus, it's an easy fix. My TE's have held up to similar abuse as well. |
