    I have one and one of the Wally's. Haven't used much but like the B&M because of how close it sits to the rod. Got handle mounted to the left side so have to reel backwards but puts line right next to rod. Drags seem to be about equal. I like the idea that you can set the drag and strip line by hand but set the hook and still have enough tension to hold the fish.

    I have a Wally and I really don't mind the line being out further from the rod ..... I have my handle on left but turn reel handle the right way.....a lot of times when I am single poling I am holding that line in my fingers anyway
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    You can reverse the Wally to get the line closer to the rod. but still have to reel backwards.

    Yea it's the bomb. I started with one and now there going to all the jig rods. If u fish less than 10 ft this is the best reel out there. I love a light, compact reel that doesn't get in the way
