I got the ambassadeur 4600 on a fenwick golden wing and it will pop the stop up if you whip it to fast..I got tired of that so I just run the line normal and turn off the anti backlash and use thatcombo just for catfish now...It does cast pretty far when the anti is turned off on it though...You need to set the brake for each diffrent lure you use..The lure should have a slow fall when you hit trigger and release it..If it falls to quickly and you cast to agressive with them they will backlash everytime on you if the brake isn't set right for your type of lure and casting...

I hear ya friend. I usually like to try a friends out befor eI invest. My son bought two tha the was having trouble with. I had him take both back. One was a Pinnacle ..where you had to disassemble it to set the drag.
Royal pain. Then he bought this 120.00 Diawa Gold royal pain. In baitcaster I fish Quatom...and rarely have a backlash and I cast him hard and far. The picture is the gray reel that is displaced in most Walmart cases .It sells for 55.00. I love mine. This one is about 6 years old. I rarely get backlashes on my Zebco Quantums.
