It also has a twitching bar and the reports are that it does work a treat for soft plastics and plastic worm baits.

Twitchin bar

It is a sml lever on top of the reel that u can press and it retreives about 15cm of line onto the reel instead of using the reel handle.

Fishing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more serious than that!!!
