Shimano reels

i still have a pair of the old 3500 baitrunners... one is in need of a new bale assembly after i removed it due to a sticky anti-reverse last year but the other is still used every time i go piking! not bad considering the reels must be 20 years old!

are they the old box/square ones rob?the first baitrunner they did?

i had the old 4500x triton seaspins. bought them in 1989 for £39.99 each from Bennetts of sheffield, sold them for £70 each 6 years ago. was a big mistake though wish i still had them
