SHIMANO BAITRUNNER D SERIES SPINNING REEL REVIEWS
I’m a fishing captain in SW Florida and this reel was used on my boat last week to catch a 6 ft; Bull Shark. Very impressive with 60 lb. braided line. -C. Keagle on Amazon.com
Shimano 8000D is ideal for spannos. Sold to go primarily with 20-30lb braid, the 8000D should also spool well with 15lb mono. -Platitudinus on ausfish.com
If you’re in the market for a new Baitrunner style reel, you should definitely check these out! -Bucktail on njsaltwaterfisherman.com
