An everyday boat combo
The Shimano Baitrunner 6000 D and Taipan Medium Spinning Boat Combo 7ft 6-10kg 2pc is the one to leave rigged and ready. A 7ft medium Taipan rated 6-10kg covers most inshore bait work, and the 6000-size Baitrunner D keeps things light without giving up capacity. Ready when the bite comes on.
The Reel
The Shimano 6000D Baitrunner Reel is the culmination of years of engineering advances in Shimano's premium bait fishing range. Designed for larger New Zealand saltwater fishing species, the Shimano 6000D Baitrunner Reel has raised the bar on previous models and now can deliver the most impressive Baitrunner that New Zealand's anglers have ever seen.
The Shimano 6000D Baitrunner Reel features all the latest Shimano technologies, from Propulsion Line Management System to S A-RB bearings. This new compact reel can handle nearly any live-bait application but still maintain the incredible durability of the legendary Baitrunner Series. The key feature of the Shimano Baitrunner is its secondary drag system which maintains a controlled free-spool with the closed bail allowing fish to run with the bait. By flipping the lever or turning the handle, the primary drag quickly engages allowing you to strike once your catch has eaten the bait.
Key features of the Shimano 6000D Baitrunner Reel include: Shimano's Cold Forged Spool for increased strength and durability over die-cast aluminium or graphite spools, Propulsion Line Management System so your reel can cope with using super braided lines, Varispeed Oscillation for even line lay on your spool, Dartainium II Drag giving you 9kgs of stopping power, SA-RB Ball Bearings that reduce the possibility of sand or salt inhibiting the bearings rotation, Super Stopper Anti-Reverse that eliminates back-play and provides you with instant hook-setting power, Dyna-Balance to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations in the reel and Fluidrive II Gearing giving you increased efficiency of retrieve for more power with less effort.
Whether you're casting, straylining a Pillie or out to smash some Kingies on a live bait, your Shimano 6000D Baitrunner Reel will have you covered for years to come.
The Rod
The Shimano Taipan Medium Spinning Boat 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 6-10kg 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.
