i think them are like them ambassador clicker reels we use when we down rig live bluegill for striper
we set it with the clicker on for when a fish takes the bait , the bait isnt typically strong enough to run off the line
then we flip the lever on the reel to get busy and lean into them .
but opening the bail and letting 14 inch live sardine "TRY" to swim thru a pack of albacore off the baja coast is pretty good stuff
we watch the line fall off speed , when it goes from about 5 to 10 mph to 55 to 60 mph it is ON !

The baitrunners are spinning reels.
