This is ideal for the angler who wants a little more backbone in their nymph rod
By simply holding the rod parallel to the ground, disengaging the thumb bar, and letting the lure fall to the ground with a light thumb tension the angler can get a sense of how to feather the line and then stop the spool in a timely fashion when the lure hits the ground
Ability to slow the bait down for a soft quiet sneaky approach
