Effortless power and performance

Looking for a rod and reel combo ideal for stray-lining or casting from the boat? Then the Shimano Baitrunner DL 4000 FB Aquatip Strayline Combo is the set-up you're looking for. The Baitrunner reel makes it ideal for stray-lining and the super versatile Aquatip rod is made to suit most fishing conditions. A great baitrunner combo that strikes the perfect balance between quality and value.

The Reel
With a stealth gunmetal grey body, the new Shimano Baitrunner DL 4000 FB Spinning Reel offers a host of features unique to the DL family of reels. Three shielded stainless steel ball bearings produce effortless performance, whilst the Power Roller helps to eliminate line twist with fine mono and braid. The 4000 model is equally at home targeting predatory species with deadbaits or when feeder fishing for hard fighting fish. Utilising Shimano’s world renowned technology such as AR-C spool and Varispeed oscillation system the Baitrunner DL offers optimum efficiency with huge amounts of power in reserve.

The Baitrunner DL has become very popular with match fishos for feeder fishing where the use of the Baitrunner freespool system is a big advantage as when engaged it eliminates crack offs on the take and allows the angler to get into position before engaging the drag.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

Varispeed
Normal oscillation systems use a constant rotation of the oscillation gear that, when translated to the cam, provides an inconsistent spool speed. This results in line lay that stacks at either end of the spool. By using an oval oscillation gear, Shimano is able to alter the speed of the oscillation cam to provide a consistent spool speed. This results in an even line lay that provides excellent castability and manageability.

The Rod
The Shimano Aquatip Boat Spinning Rod comes to you from one of the best value for money Shimano ranges available to Kiwi anglers. Ideal as an entry level spinning rod, the Shimano Aquatip Spinning Rod is perfect for straylining for snapper, casting out a lure or targeting other schooling fish like kahawai and trevally. Featuring striking metallic blue, silver and black binds, shaped EVA grips and hooded winches this rod looks great and has a reliable tough performance to boot.
