It´s amazing that the ST has two plastic bushings on the left and right side of the main gear. You can change these against two ball bearings and you´ll have a DL, which costs 30€ more.
measure the distance from the beginning of the top of the leg at the fastening itself -and to the beginning of the spool? and isn't this coil afraid of heavy torrential rains?
Hi. I've been using various Shimano baitrunner reels including this one for 30 years off piers and rocks etc. I aways wash them in warm soapy water and oil them afterwards and I've never had one seize up. I don't think any reel is gonna last long if you just throw it in the cupboard after a saltwater fishing trip without basic maintenance. So yeah, I would definitely use this for light float and ledger work with light leads in the sea.
Got one yesterday just for my light 10ft tip rod ,,,ideal😊
😂 I was looking for a cheap reel with a baitrunner feature because I lost my reel from a carp pulling it in the water
Hi, great video, short and sweet, but lots of information. Lovely looking lake, where were you fishing?
Thanks for that kind comment.
The lake was on the Old Bury Hill complex in Dorking.
Personally, I find it amazing that they still make reels with 1 bearing.
