Shimano Baitrunner Spinning Reels Reviews
 |
Details:Our BaitRunner Lever -- providing a secondary drag system -- allows an angler to feed out line in tension-controlled freespool with the bail closed. This enables the angler to feed line out, lets the fish take the bait and run -- while still maintaining line control by having the bail closed. To engage the primary drag and set the hook, simply turn the reel handle, or flip to the 'BaitRunner Off' position, and the fight is on. For dropping bait back to fish from your boat, working jetties for stripers, and even certain freshwater situations, our BaitRunner feature gives you an ultimate fish-catching advantage |

Rating: BTR shimano 3500B 4500B 6500BReviewed on April 8, 2014 by Flatheadfletch from Alabama Best freaking tools I have ever owned. Had pen 750ss 650ss. Sold all of them and went to these. BEST THING I EVER DID. Rating:  Not DurableReviewed on October 18, 2013 by Fraid Knot from Riverside,CA Baitrunner 3500 is the only spin reel I have ever had fall apart on a fish.(only fish mono) May have just got a bad one because my buddy has caught many albacore with his 6500, but I use Penn Slammers now. Rating: 15 years, thousdands of fish later - finally needs maintReviewed on March 19, 2011 by Rick from Florida just rinse, lighhtly oil occasionally and always loosen your drag before putting away. I have worn out 40 reels before I found this gem. Baitrunner 3500! I fish salt water only and use this for casting and jerking spoons all day long, which is brutal on the gears. I've caught some beauties with this reel. It is magnificent Rating: the very best for is priceReviewed on January 29, 2010 by since 1995 from rhode island For people that say they suck are crazy to say! Penn throw away ,dawia another one to do the same. There's is no reel on the market for 130 that would take beating like a baitrunner,casts great,a little heavy for surf rods but will hold up to 75 lbs sharks,60 lbs stripes will handle any fish in the east. So for those people that don't like it obviously you don't know what your are talking about. This is coming for a 20 old kid that's loves to fishing ever day. They are the best ever out there Rating:  Great offshore reelReviewed on January 24, 2010 by Ted Baln from Long Island This is all I have on my boat. I do like the spheros models better, but these are cheaper and hold up very well. Rating: Very good ReelsReviewed on November 16, 2009 by Iain from Gibraltar Have had mine for three years. Caught a 25Kg Eagle ray with them plus bass and breams no problem they are the best reels i have had.Very rowbustand dependable. Rating: Hate The Baitrunner FeatureReviewed on August 29, 2009 by Dumb from PA This reel baitrunner feature is dumb....you can use a piece of copper wire and have absolutely no tension on the line and not have to worry about spinning your line or missing the fish. The daiwa or penn is a better reel for the buck. my .02 Rating: Best Offshore ReelReviewed on June 19, 2009 by Jason Goldman from Rhode Island We have all baitrunners on my boat with star rods... the combo is very good. I have found the baitrunner feature to be just OK. I prefer a clip to allow drop back on the bait, but otherwise these reels have been maintenance free and a pleasure. I do recommend you hose them down well after use. Rating: Use for specimen CarpReviewed on April 6, 2009 by Rod from South Africa Used many a reel, from big pitts to other baitrunners and none of them can compare to the brute power of these baitrunners. Very low maintenance and I would say the best reel I have ever purchased Rating: High MaintenanceReviewed on October 27, 2008 by billy from miami the new baitrunner reel sucks if you try to close the bail when a fish it hitting it will not close and it is high maintenance Rating: Best reel for snapper fishingReviewed on January 20, 2007 by Dr DRIFT aka Chung from Melbourne, Australia My whole snapper setup includes 8 x Shimano Bait runners 4500 series on Ugly Sticks....Best combo for snapper fishing here in Melbourne Australia...
