Baitrunners
I am looking at purchasing a couple of new baitrunners in the next few weeks and was wondering what the general concensus is on the best brand.
I currently have a Shimano 4500 and find its great while out in the bay but its a bit big to use around areas like the Pin. I had a look at the Okuma series and they had one which is a better size for what I need.
Does any one know if they are a good product or know of a different option. ??? ???
Cheers,
Dominator.

Re: Baitrunners
Dom I have an Okuma CD90 which is bigger than the 4500,
Seems to be quite alright and the quality is OK .
Probably not as good as the Shimano but cheeper option with a better 5yr warranty.
It has proven to be a bit of a mongrel to cast for any distance but can be achieved once the knack is worked on .
Otherwise the Teca Sporterra gets good press from those who have them I am led to believe.

Re: Baitrunners
If the 4500 is too big there is always the 3500. I have a 6500 and find it very good.

Dom,
I use an Okuma EB30 for my bait fishing at the Pin - excellent reel, great drag, very smooth indeed.

Re: Baitrunners
wack some 30lb braid on a 6500 and you'll have the ultimate bust up machine.
Cheers. Justin
