I have the smaller, non bait runner version ,the 4500 XT-B.An excellent reel but let down by some very shoddy workmanship at the line clip where some burring rapidly shreds your line when clipping up.Shimano have acknowledged the fault and the problem can be remedied by removing the clip and sanding down the rough edges or simply sending the spools to Shimano Felindre for a fix under warranty. You cannot half crank some line in with them though.
