Flipping switch
Message:
Can someone explain to me the purpose and use of a flipping switch? I just purchased a couple of used reels with the feature, and I can't figure out how they work.

they are probably quantums then, when you engage the flipping switch the spool will engage when you press the thumb bar. that being said if you are flipping or pitching and you realize you need more line to hit bottom you press the thumbar and dont have to turn the handle to disengage the spool. also just to peel line off the reel to make a flip is what they are suppose to be for.

They're Bass Pro reels, but I'm hoping that the functionality is similar.
