bait runner reel

[Gerry Zagorski]

I have the 8000d Shimano and it's been good. Don't use it all that much since I mostly fish conventionals. Had it for 4 seasons and the handle got tight, one of the bearings started to grind and the bail springs were sticking. Sent it back to Shimano and for $30 they fixed everything and its working like new.

The 8000 might be a little big for your needs and the 4000 too small. I think the 6000 might be a good choice.
