smufter Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 http://www.ericsangling.co.uk/shimano-baitrunner-x-aero-8000-ra-reel.html "Possibly" thinking of changing my reels. Normally a Daiwa reel user, but these have taken my fancy. The only thing I don't particularly like about them is the rear drag, much prefer it on the front of the spool, but I guess I could get used to it. Does anybody use them and have any thoughts????

smufter Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Thing I like about them is the larger spool to assist in long chucks. Also, being slightly bigger reels I think they would balance the rods up slightly better than my current Daiwa's. I don't want/need "big pits" but these look a good compromise whilst keeping the baitrunner facility. Edited August 26, 2017 by smufter Quote
