Although the okuma bait feeders are cheaper and work well, the quality is lacking like crazy. Shimano is eons above pretty much every other bait runner reels out there. You absolutely get what you pay for with these reels. They are well worth the extra money. My dad and I still have the older Shimano 6500 reels and work great. Keep in mind they are 20+ years old and have been abused. These newer ones are tanks and very very smooth. They are very durable and we have been using them for a long time. The only thing I wish was the clicker was a little louder. That being said, they have the loudest clickers of any spinning reel. Louder than all of the okumas and penns by a fair amount. I can't really complain about anything with these reels. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Too heavy and baitfeeder switch is too big and sharp *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019* It works well and it cast smoothly, but I don't like the weight of it and the baitrunner switch design. This thing is heavy in comparison to okuma. It's too heavy to be used holding it while surf fishing, I fatigued much faster with this reel than my lighter Okuma avengers baitrunner 55 series. People say it's heavy because of the built quality, but it's not practical for surf fishing with the rod in your hands for a long time, it's just too heavy. I also didn't like how big and sharp the baitfeed switch is designed, it doesn't leave a lot of clearance between your fingers and the switch. It digs and poked into my grip fingers while reeling in heavy fish, but I guess it's ok if you have small hands. I switched back to my Okuma and I am more happy with my okuma. The Okuma design is much more practical for how I surf fish, it's lighter and more comfortable to use. To me the Shimano baitfeeder performance is not that huge of a difference compared to Okuma avenger baitfeeder. I prefer my reel to be lighter in weight and not have the baitfeeder switch digging and poking into your grip fingers while reeling. In the end, I chose comfort in the okuma avengers baitfeeder over a slightly better casting reel in the Shimano baitfeeder 6000D. The okuma cost way less than the Shimano as well. I really wanted to like this reel because it's Shimano brand and it was expensive, but it just didn't work for me. I wish I can return my Shimano for a refund but the return window has come and gone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was very smooth out of box but changed after five minutes *by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2018* After reading many reviews in favour of this reel I decided ask my fishing Buddy for his take whether I should buy it over the penn spinfisher 6500ll and the answer was yes and I did I was so excited to hold the reel when it arrived and it was love at first spin it was so smooth I couldn't wait to show this beautiful machine to my fishing Buddy until about five minutes later the reel started feeling like it has a broken bearing I hadn't a chance to fish with it as yet. As I turn the handle at times it's smooth and other times not. Oh how I want to love this reel but I'm not allowed to because of the fault it is the last thing I expected from a shimano baitrunner d that is so popular and have such good reviews. I must say that this reel deserves one more 🌟 and it's because of the wonderful experience of fishing with it despite the aforementioned problem this reel is a gem it trumped the penn 6500ll by far I fished with both for same time and same conditions and the penn is no match. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1486431-shimano-baitrunner-d-spinning-reel-4-8-1](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1486431-shimano-baitrunner-d-spinning-reel-4-8-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
