      mo-can do

        which shimano baitrunners are the best for chucking a method, straight lead at earlswood… don’t want a massive reel. replacing some 6000 fb’s i had nicked…
        must be from the current range.

        does anyone know if!

        the XTEA 5000 is much smaller than the XTRA 6000?

        looked at the ST, dl’s they appear a bit plastic!

          Alan Scothorne was here Monday using the new baitrunner, looked good so i bought one yesterday.
          This is the first Baitrunner to have a front drag, and it is fantastic.
          The clip isent perfect, but the reel itself is awesome, and not dear either.

            The baitrunner DL FAs are amazing reels, had one for a couple of weeks and it’s been reaaly good, great drag, and the baitrunner is quite useful when making up feeders etc.

              I’ve found both these Shimano reels superb, there is little in terms of size difference. I would recommend the XTE-A, slightly more expensive but worth the xtra.
