I think I'll stick with my Thunnus.

But can your thunnus give friction free line feed like an open spool can. None of my bait runners can

Haha, just saw this, should be a disinformation warning. My spinfisher LL can do it and the thunnus, it's called flipping the bail. Nice collection BTW, plenty of generations, that closest baitrunner would have to be around 30 years old, no instant antireverse and the old original lever out when in gear design

Haha - yeah I swear I mentioned the open spool - the rubber band just stops the wind or current pulling out big clumps of line, so you dont get a big loose clump trying to charge through the bottom guide all at once

You can set it to hair trigger or pull more line through for more resistance. I was half taking the piss when talking about the "friction free" business

But as I mentioned - its not a hack for reel that already have a bait runner feature

Yeah those baitrunners have seen some action over the years and are still kicking

Sorry Wert, I've just re-read what I typed - and while it was clear to me I was splitting hairs  - that didnt quite come through in my typing
