Shimano Spinning Reels with Instant Anti-Reverse & Trigger Line Pickup

Question
Hi..Do you know if Shimano or any spinning reel maker offered or offers a reel with instant anti-reverse, ie. SuperstopperII,and trigger line pickup/casting, ie. Quickfire II? I have entertained the idea of trying to modify my Shimano reel to this end but thought I would ask someone more knowledgeble first. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time! Jim

Answer
Hi Jim,

Shimano is the only one offering a mid-priced reel ($60) with the trigger pick-up.  They offer several models with the quick-fire, but the Spirex will have the best anti-reverse.  Quantum also still makes the "Snap-shot" which has the trigger pick-up but it is a lower end reel that may not have the performance of the Spirex.

Good fishing,
