Description: I HAVE FOR SALE AN ORIGINAL SHIMANO 6500 BAIT RUNNER FISHING REEL.THIS REEL HAS 3 DRAG SYSTEMS.FIRST ON THE BOTTOM OF THE REEL IS A FINE ADJUSTMENT DRAG FOR PLACING RESISTANCE WHEN THE REEL IS PLACED IN THE FREE LINE POSITION WITH EITHER A LIVE BAIT OR STRIP / BALLYHOO PLUG. THIS DRAG ADDS A BIT OF TENSION TO THE FREE LINE.THE SECOND DRAG ADJUSTMENT IS TO ADD FIGHTING TENSION TO THE SPOOL WHEN THE FISH IS ON THE HOOK. THIS DRAG CAN BE ADJUSTED INCREMENTALLY AND CAN BE ADJUSTED "ON THE FLY". THE THIRD DRAG ADJUSTMENT IS TO THE TOP OF THE REEL TO ADD OR DELETE FINITE ADJUSTMENT OF RESISTANCE TO THE MAIN DRAG. THIS CAN BE USED WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF LINE CONNECTING THE FISH TO THE ROD / REEL TO LESSON THE DRAG BECAUSE THE INCREASED LINE IN THE WATER INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE TO THE FISH.THE REEL IS LOADED WITH FRESH 25 LB MONO LINE. I CHANGE THE LINE EVERY 4 TO 6 FISHING TRIPS OR EVERY YEAR IF THE REEL WASN'T USED TO BE SURE THAT THE LINE IS ALWAYS FRESH AND WILL HOLD WHATEVER IS HOOKED.I USE THIS ROD ANNUALLY WHEN FISHING FOR KING FISH AND I CATCH A HUNDRED ER TO150 LBS OF KING FISH FILLETS FOR SMOKING. MY RECIPE COMES FREE WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS REEL.UI CAUGHT A 40 LB WAHOO WITH THIS REEL.AS TO THIS AND OTHER RODS / REELS IN MY COLLECTION, WITH PRIDE, I KEEP THE WORKING RODS AND REELS IN TIP TOP SHAPE.GOOD LUCK!
