The Baitrunner feature allows for the fish to take the bait and run with it before engaging the drag, which reduces the chance of the fish feeling resistance and spitting out the bait. Both combos you mentioned have similar line and weight ratings, so it comes down to personal preference and budget. I suggest going to a local tackle shop https://gunsandgadgets.spammers rus.co.za/ and getting a feel for each combo to see which one you like better. Regarding soft baiting, the Shimano and PENN combos you mentioned should be capable of flicking a soft bait off the rocks on occasion, but a dedicated soft bait combo may offer better performance. However, if you're on a budget, it might be best to stick with the Shimano or PENN combo for now and save up for a dedicated soft bait setup in the future.
