I know that a backlash results in the spool running faster than the
line feed. I'm not sure about what drag adjustment there is in a modern
baitcaster. The lure retrieve is 1:1 so that it is possible to get a
better grip on lure action .It can handle quite a variable size fish
and line tends not loop as in a spinning reel. Lot of pluses

I started using one around January and now I wouldn't go back to a
spinner. The best part is the ability to place your cast exactly
where you want to distance wise by stopping the cast with your thumb.

I spent a lot of time in my front yard practicing using some light
Spiderwire EZ Cast until I got reasonably proficient with it. I still
get bird's nests, especially when it starts getting dark.

And BTW, the retrieve is a ratio, like 6.4:1 or 5.something depending
on the model...
