I use Shimano 6500's exclusively for bait fishing.
I have 4 of em', and only one is starting to give me some trouble after many years of hard use.

I do like penn's 650's for casting, but not chunking, can't beat a baitrunner type reel. I have not tried any other type of BR though. I would be curious to see. and yes they need to make a larger one. Again that is why I still use my 6500's.

I also won that OKUMA reel (MSBA) and so did my buddy who fished with me, but have not found a use for it yet. I am curious to know if yours lasts. Keep in touch.
