Single action is the biggest challenge and the most fun especially when fishing for coho at a fast 3 or 4 knot plug cut troll.
I still have my Daiwa after thirty years which does not have a one-way quick retrieve.
When a fish hits, the drag must be set just right. When I retreive, the drag must be loosened. God help me if the fish turns when I least expect it. My hands must be ready to roll and palm at just the right pressure.
Sure, I risk a "rat's nest" but it's all part of the game.
