Lesson Learnt

I discovered something quite interesting about my main beach reel, Vega Squadra 75 fixed spool, after my session on the beach last night. When casting hard its possible to create rotation of the handle and bail arm which causes the bail arm to snap over automatically and crack the lead off. It happened once to Martin last night and once to me, it also happened on a previous trip.
Some reels have done away with the handle turning engagement and I remember seeing some years ago some anglers used to use elastic bands to hold the bail arm open.
