Hey fishkisser, I had the same problem with both the corsair 300 and the 400. I lost fish, had bad backlashes, and even snapped main line because of the anti-reverse disengaging and the handle spinning backwards. I owned 2 300s and 2 400s. NOT ANYMORE! I tried the curado....love it! I will be picking up a Chronarch SF and a Penn 965 "reely" soon. Good luck...
