A bait runner of 6000 size and up would be most versatile.....my 12000d is the one rod reel setup that always goes in the boat.

Like this. Altho I think I payed 300 bucks? A couple years ago.
A 6 or 8000 would do fine too I only got the 12000 cos it was on special.

I reckon the 1200 is pretty big for most boat work, great for surf casting though. The 4000 is great as a cross over soft bait reel if needed but you'd want a bit more of you run into bigger fish often.
Id go 6 or 8000 as above if just after one. But why have one when you can aim to collect them all...

While we’re talking reels, what do you guys use to protect them from salt water. Inox gets mentioned, so do you spray it on after washing in fresh water, or wipe it down with a cloth. Is it safe to use around the line, both braid and nylon, or keep it well away. I know some of the sprays around aren’t the best to use as they start attacking rubber and other materials.
5 rigged up, new rod and reel arrives tomorrow, fishing on Friday all day. Shaping up to be a good end of week.
