Well c/22, I haven't had any of my Bantams break off yet, (yes Bob got me looking at all my reels), but I use my reels to take up line and not a winch like a 4x4. The slider switch is located on the R/H front of the cover and is out of the way as not to accidently go into the off position into directdrive. New or used its been the best d@mn reel for the salts I've owned, next to the Penn 109's. Bought enough 1000's and parts to keep me happy till I die or when Chinooks are only seen in encyclopedias and history books....
