My fishing buddy forward and back reels constantly when drift fishing in the boat over uneven terrain. At the same time, he always locks the reel when stowed rigged in the rod holder. Penn is now selling a reel that stays in anti reverse with no switch. Even the best eventually go cheap to to make an extra dollar. No more Penn's for me.
I like my pursuit 6000 though I haven't caught a big fish on it yet. Sturdy good casting. Have the big old shakespeare, favorite for years and a lot of good fish. My brother landed and released a 7' sturgeon on his. Shredded everything. Rod eyes, seat, reel. We opened the reel to find plastic gears worn to nubs. Funny his trophy is that trashed rig.
