I have fished with a number of spinning reel only anglers who don't care for
the instant anti reverse. I think the whole main line of Shimano spinning
reels is that way. It can be gotten used to. I hardly ever use the
automatic bail return on spinning reels and I use spinning tackle about
equally to bait casting tackle. I pretty much always close the bail by hand
and lift the rod to take up slack.
Up until I started fishing bass tournaments and learning from my buddy Dave
Willhide (local guide) I always used spinning tackle, and after I got used
to it I actually prefer the instant anti reverse reels.
