"It was all done with the thumb, hence thumb-burning resulted from hooking large, fast fish." I still have, and use, my 'old' Amb. 2600 that has no drag .... save for your thumb on the spinning spool. Used to carry a leather glove in the front of my waders to 'pop on' when I stuck a fish.

Saved a considerable amount of 'meat' off the end of the didget 'pre-Bolt.'
