If your'e not deadsticking with bait, I don't see why you would need a baitrunner.
This year I got the shimano stradic, sweet smooth reel. But pricey..

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

I've got 2 baitrunners.
Both of them sitting on a shelf in my garage with broken anti-reverse. Also my 6500 which I did use pretty heavily for fishing herring for a few springs is no where near as smooth as it used to be...
I've been trying to stay away from bait this year so I didn't even bother fix them.

I have 2 4500's and a 6500. They're awesome reels. As far as the second drag system goes I find I use it a lot even when plugging for letting out line, reaching for the lure at the end of the line, etc. I really miss it when I'm using my penn 6500 which btw, is way heavier than either shimano.
