I found the concept & design interesting enough to post a thread on it back on the 12th, here, http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=11146.0
But I don't think it is going to go anywhere, I've seen it elsewhere & the response is the same, i.e. lackluster.

No sir, I don't like it. That is just my opinion.

Looks like a lot of moving parts.  My reels take a pounding during a tournament.  I am wondering if it would stand up to the abuse.

Why not just use a bait caster?

The advantages of this reel over a bait caster are that, with very light line, you can cast very light baits, just like a spin reel.
The advantages over a spin reel with this reel is that you are not compounding line twist with every cast, just by turning the spool the opposite direction every second cast.
You can put it into free spool and drop a bait to the bottom, just like a conventional reel, and don`t have to balance the reel on top of the rod.

I LOVE IT! I hope this guy has great success with this and makes a lot of money too.

I fish all saltwater. I can only imagine what salt intrusion (Is it intrusion if it's gearcase is open?) Would do to that reel.
