I own three Shimano Baitrunners, The original 2500 which still works but after seven years is starting to get a little noisey. A Thunnus not sure of the number. About five years old. It's one down from the largest. Also a two year old new 8000. They have all performed admirably for what they do and with a regular wash down have never needed any service yet. I owned the penn baitfeeder and the control dial for the feeder on the rear seized after a year.
