I just about cried last year when I lost a Baitrunner Shimano reel and rod last year. I unlocked the Baitrunner to bring the fish in and decided to reel in the rod next to it I took my foot off the end of the rod for just a second and the rod went in the water and was gone forever. I spent like $200 American on the setup .usually I clip the rods to my holder and tie the holder to a concrete post but I had already unclipped the rod.. It took two weeks to get it in the mail and buy them the catfish had left the shallow water for the season. I fish a lake about 10,000 acres so I was done for the season once the weeds die off for the winter

The only change I've ever done to reels was to change the spool size to a large one A Shimano 2000 can fit a 2500 reel and so on.
