What's the advantage of a gearbox rotated forward?

So Sealine's click when you reel even with the bait clicker off?
The drags on the seagates are not quite a good as the Carbontex upgrade, but really close. The Carbontex washers are $20.

Rotating the gear box gets it out of the way. I cant seem to hold the rod the way I want to with a sealine. Makes the biggest difference when tossing the surface iron.

The seagates have the same silent dogs that the saltist does. The sealines do not and make a slight clicking sound. It doesn't make much difference and honestly you really only notice it in the shop. You won't hear it over your hooting and hollering when you're hooked up!
