Would like it better if it had a turn handle engage, from free spool.
Knew about its function before I purchased so cant down vote because of that.

It goes well with my reel

This is an awesome hoodie. Warm and looks great. I’m looking for another one.

A beautiful fishing reel and great service

First time out the free spool mechanism ceased to work.

Terrible! Give it a half hearted put and it falls out. If you are looking at this for your English Caravan, DONT!
