Big pit / BaitrunnerI have often wondered if there is an advantage with either of these systems. I use a big pit in away. I use Shimano Power Aero 10000 XTE. These have a bait runner system intergrated into the front spool which allows full control when playing a fish.
I have been looking closely at the Daiwa Basia but a cost issue does creep in.
What system do you support?

I have used the big Shimano bait runner's since the day they came out ...cant fault them 
I even use the old Shimano 6500 for my catfishing

I thought a larger reel would be used for the cats

The newer ones are not strong enough for the very big cats ...but the 6500 are just the job

my take on it is that a big pit is what you want for everything, you can use it in a puddle just the same as an inland sea.
currently use longcasts but would love a set of Basia's.

what do you guys think about Daiwa Entoh 5500's bearing in mind i'm fishing Chanty next year. I reckon i'll be putting them on Free Spirit Hi S 12ft 6in 3.25lb rods.
i'm definatly getting new rods and just fancy a change of reel and cant afford the Basia's, nothing wrong with the longcasts at all, just fancy treating myself.
