gleeso Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 what is the difference between the Shimano baitrunner 6500 and the 6500B? Someone told me the 6500B are not as good? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Gleeso, the 6500B is many times better than old 6500. For a start it has a balanced rotor that doesn't wobble. It lays the line better, the line roller actually rolls and it has fluid drive. Have you compared the two? My old 6500A reels were garbage when compared to the B series. Maybe your mate scored a lemon? Regards Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about the 6500B having fluid drive, the BigBTR is the only one that has that as far as I am aware. The big difference between the A & B models is that the B model has infinite backwind. It also comes with ARB ( Anti Rust Bearing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
