A classic straylining pairing
The Shimano Baitrunner 8000 D and Taipan Medium Spinning Boat Combo 7ft 6-10kg 2pc is the outfit plenty of kiwi fishos grew up with. The 8000-size Baitrunner D handles the line and the drag, while the 7ft medium Taipan rated 6-10kg keeps enough tip in it to cast an unweighted bait. Simple, sturdy and effective.
The Reel
The Shimano Baitrunner reels have been the most dominant brand of Baitrunner on the market for many years now. The quality of these Shimano Baitrunner reels is exceptional. The Shimano Baitrunner D is the paramount range of the new Baitrunner collection, boasting the best features of the previous range and boldly combining them with new Shimano technologies and design to deliver the best Baitrunner yet.
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.
