Spinning baitrunner/baitfeeder reels

[Osage1978]

Looking to buy a size 60/65 baitfeeder / baitrunner / live liner reel in the next few weeks. Leaning towards the shimano btr6000oc, OKUMA Coronado CDX-65 or the penn fierce iii live liner 6000

Budget is up to roughly $150, fish from the bank biggest fish would be 90lbs, deepest waters 80ft & primarily lake water with limited river fishing

What's your recommendation

Guess nobody uses baitfeeder reels around here?

I don't. I do have some salt water stuff but a little larger. More for offshore fishing. You'll have better results in a fishing forum where there is lots of fishing talk.

I have 2 Shimano Curado reels, 250 and 400
Awesome reels.
Have used Ambassadors since I was in High School. Every size from 4000 to 7000.
I have 2 Penn 114 4/0. Got them for saltwater, but I do bait them out for catfish, in deep water. 75# cat on a rod is a hoot.
I have 2 Penn 160 spinning reels on 12' and 13' surf rods. Taking them to the lake gets some funny looks, until I cast twice the distance they do.

I do have one reel that has a feature that might double as a bait feature I wouldn't want to in the deep ocean. Those fish can be mighty fast with the drag being pulled/ I've had 20 lb drag pulled on it many times It's a baitcaster avet 2 speed.

Try 2coolfishing forum. I used them a lot when I lived on the Gulf coast.

You won’t go wrong with Shimano fantastic reels although I love my Penn Fierce Crappie reels

Back when I did a lot of catfishing, I used the Okuma Carbonite baitfeeder reels. I liked them. The price was affordable to me.
