He hasn't had it in the water yet, but he is concerned that it might backlash and cause the gun to be ripped out of his hands. I ran down the street like a very fat white sea bass and did manage to backlash it, but of course we weren't in the water.
I checked my two RA stainless reels, and they were pretty much the same way and I haven't backlashed one yet.
But I guess I should warn you to be careful when loosening the drag.
