United Press Outdoor Consultant details Rudy Han of Baldwinsville New York developing a nonproduction casting reel with open end frame and changeable spools. The design reduces backlashes by a larger diameter spool that rotates slower, disengages on cast, and uses a stationary shaft to prevent momentum buildup. It blends spinning and conventional reel advantages with nylon bearings and a star drag.
