That's a good point. Ive not had the problem yet, but i understand and agree with your point.

When i had XTB's all the drag clicks stopped working so sent off to Felindre for a so called fix ... returned working great but ladd packed up again within few months ... I wouldnt buy a Shimano pit reel again unless this is resolved. If a £50 reel doesnt have this problem i dont see why Shimano cant sort it out

I think on a different thread it was said they should last 5 years until need replacing.I guess it's down to how much use they get,mine should last at least 20years as I don't catch

It's a simple fix if your first concern isn't having a quality reel sell them and buy a junk diawa reel they will wobble click clang clutch go jerky spindle bend you will have loads of noise if you use them for anything but winching sticklebacks in .They will make you think your at home grinding coffee .

I have the Ci4 Big baitrunners and all 6 spools have had the clicker go.
The clickers only come in when fish are taking from the drag - Not the baitrunner facility, where they are still working fine.
I do miss having a clicker on the drag though and if that fix from future fishing works, I think I'll get them.

I have the Ci4 Big Baitrunner Mediums and really like them, no problems as yet but not used them a lot.

Has anyone got a link to the replacement clickers (couldn't find them on the Future Fishing site) as it seems inevitable they will go at some point it would be good to have a link for future reference?

Give Ryan a call at Future Fishing & he will sort you out with anything you need reel spares wise. I get all my spares from him & he can also get the most obscure bits/bearings you may want that aren't always listed on the site.

I've just bought a second hand pair of these and I noticed if the bail arm is open it doesn't automatically close when you real in! Is that correct? As there both the same you have to physically close the arm yourself.
There not the Ci4 version but the cheaper medium baitrunners
