I think the reel you are thinking of is an Abu Garcia. I don't remember the model but I have one and I could check for you. They do have a little flapper on the top that controls a brake and prevents the backlash. You can also lock it down and use it just like any other 'C3' model. I don't think they make it any more but I'm not sure about that.
