Re: Shimano 8000D Baitrunner Reels ?
I also have the older 4500 and 6500 's . I really like them more . I believe all of those extra bearings drove the price up but didn't make the reel any better. While cleaning all newer reels with lots of bearings after a day on the water do not wash with a hose or soap at the dock and avoid lots of saltwater spray on the boat. Many times this is where the bearings get beat up with water pressure driving grit into them and soaps breaking down lubricants.
