The automatic rewind feature was handy sometimes, but basically, if you use your reel to store the line that you are not casting, a regular simple action reel may be just as easy to use. I did take the cover off of mine several times to clean and re-oil it. You will need to keep the spring under control when you take the cover off. The reel should have a button on it to release the tension on the spring, but you will still have to deal with the spring if you take it out.
