Hi all,

Shimano Thunnus is a great reel for those that like the live bait free spool feature of the baitrunner. The metal frame will take care of the flex problem.
I have used both varieties of reels for many years and have had a couple B.R. implode never with the thunnus though. I think the baitrunner reels blew up from old age and heavy client use over many seasons.
