Cards on the table, I'm a big fan of Shimano reels & wouldn't normally look elsewhere, however I'm after a 4000 sized reel with a baitrunner / freespool facility, but... I'm after a rear drag model & as far as I can see, Shimano only appear to make 4000 & smaller with front drag. I know that front drag is supposedly better / smoother / firmer but I've not found that to be the case on the Diawa Regal that I'm using currently plus I like the quick spool change on the rear drag models. I guess it's a matter of what I'm comfortable with. Anyhow, any suggestions most welcome - thanks, Jon
