The Shimano Baitrunner ST 10000 RA is a fantastic value Baitrunner Reel. I would pair this with a lovely nice light rod of around 2 – 2 3/4lb TC rod – ideal for the small-medium sized intimate waters. This reel would be an awesome piece of tackle for tench fishing on a heavy feeder rod, or a light barbel rod . This reel has a variety of uses and features a fantastic build quality, as to be expected with all Shimano reels.

The bail arm and spool are fantastic, smooth as silk making casting effortless. The baitrunner system is of course included, which is ideal allowing two pre-sets of clutch – free spool on the baitrunner, and then a few turns of the reel handle and you’re back onto the main clutch all set for playing a fish/reeling in.

At £50, this reel is a bargain.
