I'm looking at picking up one of these for sea fishing (from land/cliffs). Are they worth it. I'm a relative novice and not sure of the difference between the different types available:

6000D EU

BAITRUNNER 4000D

BAITRUNNER 6000D

BAITRUNNER 8000D

BAITRUNNER 8000D EU

Currently have the 6000D EU in my basket but would like to be certain before purchasing.

For that price id look at penn reels, far more durable and rugged

Baitrunners arnt needed for surf fishing - also are you spinning or baitfishing? The range in sizes of reel is curious also - What exactly are you doing?

Hi @ardinn , the plan is to fish from cliffs in places like the Bridges of Ross. Would you class that as surf fishing.

Apologies, I'm fairly ignorant of the terminology used in fishing I'm afraid.
