I just bought a Penn 109 reel, when i flip the lever on the right side of the reel down to cast the handle spins backwards with the spool. Is this normal for 109 models? I have several Penn #9's and 209's i use for catfishing and when i flip the lever down on them the spool spins freely. Just wondering if i got a bad reel or if it is normal operation for the 109 models for the handle to spin backwards while casting.
