I set mine so the fish can take line under pressure, never freespooling though Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Yes of a sort, QD reels, yes i did own proper bait runners, didnt see the point as i never used the function, why?? Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Bear in mind most reels are QD i buy, a quarter turn is either locked up or freespool so your talking minimum turn Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

I see this thread morphing into something else, so, say you get a take, as i pick up rod i naturally put one finger on spool then tighten up drag( not from freespool before anyone starts) this takes all of a second, my question is this, a quick turn of drag or turn handle? Which is quicker?? I assume if reel is spinning we all tighten drag up Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Ebay pva products, auction or buy it now, i got 80m 32mm for 21 quid Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Why did it censor that word? Odd Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

I meant it can be set the the same as fighting drag, knob on end can be done up tight. Aren't there 2 knobs on em? One for freespool other for fighting drag? Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Reading this makes me chuckle, when i say I've seen people have it on freespool just to make alarm scream, i didn't mention scenarios did i? I don't see the point in it, letting fish run for personal satisfaction. People get defensive even though its not aimed at them. These so called anglers who let them run become lazy and its dangerous. Imagine it (I've seen it) guy wanders round, i say where you fishing, he says other side, its ok its on freespool and I've loads of line!! Wtf!!! Yes a baitrunner can be adjusted to be the same drag as fighting drag but then it negates the point of it being a bait runner Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

If you actually read it properly it states i see people with them letting fish run for the sake of it which i don't agree with, then it states i believe it leads to fish loses etc. Some people have shown me they can be used responsibly but i still don't see it, if you like using them over front drag then great. If someone who does let it run for fun reads it, it may make them think about fish and snags. Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Obviously that apology earlier was complete rubbish, really don't get some peoples mentality Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Possibly but opinions matter Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Horses for courses really Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

It does if your a novice thinking its cool to let em run, thanks for apology, no harm no foul[emoji1] Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Totally agree, love shiny new kit Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Somebody get out of bed the wrong side? How is my post argumentative or contentious??? Obviously you don't know me or have read any of my posts. Yes i don't agree with completely free spool, this forum doesn't give you the right to say im argumentative or contentious, everyone has the right to their own opinion Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Made me chuckle Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Sorry bad joke Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Are the like pop up books for kids but a pop up bible?? Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

I gathered Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

I get it, they reinvented the wheel, so its a lever instead of a quarter turn or just so i can pull line off with some effort. Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

They have both don't they? Fighting clutch and running clutch, so whats the point, i know front drag and baitrunner do the same, so why let them run?? Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

So surely you'll be using the drag not the baitrunner for thar Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Yes but whats the point? Surely its better to be in contact with the fish immediately than letting it run, what situation are you speaking of?? Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

My point exactly, i cant think of one situation where you'd allow a carp to run potentially into a snag and lose it, we all spend hours chasing these lovely fish so why for the sake of making the alarm sound would you do it? Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, i don't see the point in a bait runner, i think it looses you fish and makes you lazy. Yes i undo my front drag but only so it just lets line off so as to not pull rod in. I see people with these on their reels just so the alarm screams and looks good. I personally think you should be paying attention and not letting the fish run or run into a snag or weed anything else really Sent from my P9000 using Tapatalk
