I have been using a Shimano Baitrunner this year for Eels and Jigs. What is great is to engage the baitrunner after the cast and set the baitrunner drag for the least amount of tension. The current is strong enough to take the line off the spool for the drift, and if you do get a hit the force will engage the drag.

I almost lost a finger trying to get the braid onto the roller on my manual Penn 704 when a fish started taking line. I would advise against paying out line on a manual spinner.

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl. ~Ernest Hemingway
