Quote"The new way makes more sense, you can't bump the reel into baitrunner because it is sitting flush against the reel instead of sticking out. I prefer it anyway."................................................................................................The old one sits flush against the reel preventing it getting knocked out of baitrunner mode......when you turn the handle it clicks back onto main drag.....................i think you mean the other way around mate....what you are claiming it doesnt do....is exactly what it does do ! ....unless shimano have gone back to the baitrunner function they had on the likes of the 3500/4500/6500.

I got a 2000P NR (grey) with carbontex drag washers and 300 metre of YGK PE 4 X 4 Jigman line .......9 out of 10.......for 300 aussie.........I thought that was a bloody good score.
