salokcinnodrog Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 I love my Beastmasters. I honestly don't know why you need to spend major bucks on a super light, all singing, all dancing £250 reel compared to these. It's not a baitrunner as such, a quick (inner) drag kn ob on the front of the spool. I always tighten up the main drag or clutch, and play fish on backwind, so have not noticed any line twist. Playing power, plenty of guts for dealing with big fish at long range, and they do cast a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest John Posted May 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Thank you for the reply .... I have the chance of buying a pair like brand new but was not too sure as I know they are about 3 or more years old and the baitrunner system is totally different to my 5010s which I use for barbel fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the previous owner looked after them they should be fine. They don't look dated, or out of fashion😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
