A few years ago, Shimano came out with the DC series of reels............and they now have multiple lines that have "digital control" technology on the reel spools that keep you from back lashing. They are basically guaranteed to NOT back lash...
From videos I've seen, you cannot backlash one.......PERIOD.
Here is a link:
Cabela's: Shimano® Calcutta TE® DC Casting Reel
So there is a market for high tech gadgetry in fishing.......With the right manufacturer picking up your digital rod, maybe, just maybe you will become the next megastar in the fishing manufacturing arena.
I sure hope you do.......
Something to think about though.......a quick search of the "technology" brought me to this......

Good luck to you.
