Going to purchase a 300ej and heard good and bad things about it. One of the main problems that people were telling me is that it is not a good reel for casting as the big handle will swing forward when casting and lock the reel while line is going out and center piece is rotating at full speed. This would eventually lead to quicker wear of gears inside or even breaking it on the spot. Any experience with the reel or comments are greatly appreciated before I make the decision of purchasing it.
