Some guide I was with was using a baitcaster that spooled out from under, not on top. Supposed to never backlash. Anyone know what model I'm talking about?

Never heard of that, seems like it would make variable thumbing pretty tough.

No I have never heard of it either. I would like to see this, so I will be watching this thread. I am sure the reel has other cons to be able to not backlash tho. Like wont free spool as smooth or something.

US Reel makes a baitcaster series that spools from the bottom, and doesn't have a line feed like the traditional open faced baitcasters. It uses something they call 'level wind'. I bought one on close out from cabellas a couple weeks ago, and headed out to Galveston bay in a couple weeks, so I can let ya know how it works compared to my ol' ABU 5000.

Academy is selling them...but I'd rather stick with my Calcutta or my Revo.
