I'm in the process of replacing all my stolen tackle. For several years I have used 6010gt shimano baitrunners for my trent barbelling without any real problems but I was never keen on the fact that the rear drag/baitrunner tensioner was on the same nob and the reel sometimes seemed to lack cranking power.
I also found the clutch rather inprecise in that you could set it seemingly perfectly before fishing but several hours later it seemed to jam when a fish was hooked. I'm presently looking at the baitrunner B which has a front drag any other suggestions bearing in mind I sometimes need to retrieve 8oz leads.
