Title: Shimano Baitrunner
Post by: bustedknuckle on April 06, 2007, 03:11:58 PM

Any thoughts? Thinking of picking up the mid sized version (I think its the 3500) and matching it to a 7 ft stick to use from the boat.

I have a pair on BWS 1101 6' ugly's  A great set up Recommendation from Capt.Ed.  150$ a set up.

You can go with the longer pole in that model but I like to keep my boat poles under 7'

Hi All,

One of my all time favorite reels.

Has caught 50lb. stripers; a 60" bluefin; and tons of other nice fish.

One of the best values in fishing (along with the Penn 500 Jigmaster).

I have 50 lb. Power Pro on them. See Capt. Rod's reply above for the rod.

Best wishes,

Capt. Ed
