Light bait and softbait duties
The Shimano Baitrunner 4000 OC and Taipan Medium Light Spinning Soft Bait Combo 7ft 4-8kg 2pc is the smallest of the baitrunner pairings, matching the 4000 OC to a 7ft medium light Taipan rated 4-8kg. It handles softbaits and light straylining without feeling heavy in the hand. Nicely matched for finesse inshore work.
The Reel
Superseding the well known Shimano Baitrunner B series, the Shimano Baitrunner 4000OC is the latest release in Shimano's baitrunner range. This new series boasts some of the most exciting upgrades seen in a Baitrunner reel for years, yet it still consists of the elements which made Baitrunner a household name for Kiwi fishermen.
The Shimano Baitrunner 4000OC is a medium sized Baitrunner fishing reel making it ideal for stray-lining off the boat or casting from the rocks. This new range now comes with a replaceable spool clicker, Vari-speed oscillation to make sure you get perfect line lay with Power Pro and other braided lines, and Propulsion Line management to give you that extra distance while casting.
Not only have the handles been upgraded from the B series, but the Shimano Baitrunner 4000OC also features a Cold Forged spool for increased strength and durability and Shimano's Fluidrive II which increases the efficiency of the retrieve for more power with less effort.
The Shimano Baitrunner 4000OC would have to be one of the most versatile bait fishing reels out and is without a doubt the one reel you must have next time you hit the water!
The Rod
The Shimano Taipan Medium Light Spinning Soft Bait Rod is your go-to workhorse for versatile Kiwi fishing. This rod is built on an integrated graphite blank that provides superior sensitivity, helping you stay in touch with every bite and feel exactly what's happening at the other end of your line. It's a dependable, high-performance tool designed to give you that responsive edge over traditional fibreglass rods.
Durability is at the heart of this design, ensuring it holds up against the harsh salt and sunShimano experience out on the water. Featuring Fuji O-Ring guides, you'll enjoy smooth, reliable line management even when you're locked in an aggressive battle with a hard-fighting fish. The 7ft length and 4-8kg line rating offer the perfect balance of lifting power and casting control, while the full-length EVA grips provide a comfortable, non-slip hold for those long, action-packed days on the boat. Being a 2-piece construction, it's also easy to chuck in the car or store in the boat locker. Grab yours today and get sorted for your next big catch.
