Free Spool....
"Do Bauer cfx reels free spool".... I don't know whether your reel free spools or not but you should be able to find that out by spinning the spool using the handle. If it spins freely in either direction without clicking, it's a free spool reel.
Seems like if you're going to pick up a lot of slack line quickly by using your reel hand as Galloup describes in the video, the spool would've been designed with a rim control side. If yours doesn't have a rim control side, so you could use your palm to control run speed or to press/slide your palm on it in order to retrieve line without using the reel handle you wouldn't be able to perform line retrieval in the manner Galloup describes.
"America is a country which produces citizens who will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won't cross the street to vote."
