Shimano 6000d baitrunner any one

[Dean Aston]

Not to sound rude but don't want to make this a what reel is best thing BUT birthday in a few weeks and looking to change my reels and been having a look at these Shimano 6000d baitrunner wondering if any one used them for a bit whats your thoughts ? Going to sticking them on some 12 foot torrix rods like so like to get them nice and balance and to use on the Severn . Cheers in advance .

I've been considering a pair for my 2 & 3/4lb Harrison Ballista carp rods Dean. I have a 4000d for small river fishing and they are a great reel for barbel fishing I think. I reckon you wont go far wrong with a pair of 6000's for using on the severn, particularly as size wise they aren't that different from the 5000 series baitrunners of old.

Cheers Paul thought they might be a bit to big but if like the 5000s should be sound

Try to get the ones with the flat handles or you will end up with a massive knob!
