It lets a fish take line while the main drag setting remains unchanged. The On/Off auto-trip system switches back to the main drag when you turn the handle, making it useful for stationary bottom baits before you take up line and strike.
The 4000A LH is the lightest at 280 g, with 10 kg maximum drag and 79 cm retrieve. The 6000A LH weighs 486 g and retrieves 82 cm, while the 8000A LH weighs 511 g and retrieves 89 cm. Both larger sizes offer 12 kg maximum drag. Choose the 4000A LH to keep weight down or compare the larger models by retrieve and the line diameter you need.
The figures refer to different diameters: 220 m of 0.35 mm for the 6000A LH and 180 m of 0.45 mm for the 8000A LH. The 4000A LH holds 185 m of 0.30 mm. Compare capacity at the diameter you plan to fish, not by the listed metre figure alone.
Yes, beach ledgering and vertical bait fishing from a boat are stated uses. The body and rotor are corrosion-resistant graphite and the bearings are stainless steel. This does not make maintenance unnecessary: clean the reel after saltwater use and follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
LH denotes left-hand retrieve, so these versions are for winding with your left hand. The 4000A LH has a T-shaped TPE knob, while the 6000A LH and 8000A LH use Ergo-Grip knobs. Consider the different grip shapes alongside weight and capacity when choosing a size.

The CEYMAR HD BAITFEEDER is a fixed-spool reel with an On/Off auto-trip baitfeeding system that lets a fish take line before you engage the main drag. The 4000A LH, 6000A LH and 8000A LH cover bottom-bait methods, including beach ledgering and vertical bait fishing from a boat. Flite Drive™ reduces resistance while retrieving, while the upgraded multi-disc Carbonit drag controls line release during the fight.
The switchable baitfeeding system complements the main drag, so line can run without changing the main drag setting. Auto-trip returns the reel to the main drag when you turn the handle. Quick-Set anti-reverse prevents backward handle rotation when setting the hook. This combination matters when fishing stationary baits and then taking up line to strike.
Flite Drive™, a precision elliptical gear system and a precision-machined brass pinion support smooth retrieval. The stainless-steel bearing arrangement is 7BB+1RB (seven ball bearings and one roller bearing). The RESII Rotor Equalizing System uses a computer-balanced rotor for a balanced retrieve. The reels also feature CFR (Cyclonic Flow Rotor) technology.
The corrosion-resistant graphite body and rotor suit the stated beach and boat applications, but do not remove the need for care after saltwater use. A metal handle and heavy-duty solid aluminium bail wire provide stability when handling the reel. The machined aluminium spool is two-tone anodised and has an LCS lip.
The 4000A LH has a T-shaped TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) handle knob. The 6000A LH and 8000A LH use Ergo-Grip knobs, giving the larger models a different grip shape. All three are LH (left-hand retrieve) versions for anglers who wind with their left hand.
All three have a 4.5:1 gear ratio. Choose by weight, retrieve, maximum drag and the line diameter you intend to use rather than size alone.
4000A LH: 280 g, 79 cm retrieve per handle turn, 10 kg maximum drag and 185 m of 0.30 mm line. It is the lightest option here and has the T-shaped TPE knob. The supplier lists carp, tench and sea bream for this size, stationary pike or catfish fishing with baitfish, and beach fishing for cod.
6000A LH: 486 g, 82 cm retrieve per turn, 12 kg maximum drag and 220 m of 0.35 mm line. It offers more drag than the 4000A LH, with a substantial increase in weight and an Ergo-Grip knob.
8000A LH: 511 g, 89 cm retrieve per turn, 12 kg maximum drag and 180 m of 0.45 mm line. Compared with the 6000A LH, it retrieves more line per turn and accommodates the stated thicker line, at an extra 25 g. Maximum drag is unchanged. The supplier names cod, sea bass and sea trout for this size's coastal applications. Capacity figures use different line diameters and should not be compared by metres alone.
Check that the reel suits your rod, line and fishing method, and secure it firmly in the reel seat. Before use, inspect the drag, handle, spool and line guide for damage and correct operation. Clean the reel regularly, especially after saltwater use, using a soft cloth and suitable reel oil where needed. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions, store it dry and keep line and moving parts away from fingers, hair and clothing.
