I fancy getting some Diawa Ss2600 reels for my Nash Dwarf rods, now I know you can QD them, but I'd rather not. Question is, will they be difficult to fish with in conjunction with bite alarms without a 'baitrunner'?

You can always fish with rod-mounted line clips and open bale arms, like in the old days.

Not at all, you don't need completely loose clutches to fish that way, a turn or so will bring you back into play.

No problem, just slacken off the clutch or as stated open bail arm and clipping up will do it also.

One full turn of the clutch is about enough difference.
