I remember when you purchased that reel.. Why have you decided you don't need it..?

Both the reels cost $100 so cost wouldn't be a factor

After switching to convential it's hard going back... But I want two spinning surf combos.. I have a Baitrunner on a St. Croix, and I'm thinking about putting either a shimano, or a tica on a 12 foot rod... I'm leaning towards the baitrunner.. But I see digital dagger has the tica rated #1

never used the tica but i have all 3 sizes in the shimano and you really cant go wrong with any shimano reels...the baitrunners are super strong and will def take a beating....i like almost as much as my van staal but my VS is only a week old so.....

so would you say the Tica is better at long casting? I'm looking for a long casting baitrunner type reel...

In 1986 I bought a Shimano Baitrunner 450. I still have it, and my wife still uses it when we fish. So far, it is original. It is serviced regularly and thats all. Any questions?

I have a 4500b... Great reel... but my question is is there a Distance bait runner spining toreel ou there.. The baitrunner, i don't think are made for distance..
