Default What baitcasters with bait alert, clickers?

Hi all, yes more moving parts but maybe less drag. My best guess on
this is when you start to use bigger baitcaster reels with wider
spools and thicker higher test line there comes a point where more
drag is caused by the line going out at an angle across a non moving
line guide then is caused by the extra moving parts needed to keep the
guide moving.

The 5601 C4 holds a bit of line (12 x 205) Perhaps reels of this size
and bigger start to work better if the line guide moves on the casts.

Later, DC
