Yeah, I was surprised to see that even the high end Shimano Tranx's have that same feature. Awhile back Garcia had a bait caster that had a mechanism that disengaged the levelwind so that it freefloated during the cast, but it appears to be phased out. Diawa T-wing system reduces the friction and they are starting to use it in on more of their models, but as of now, only on the smaller baitcasters.
