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.
Notable Features
The Shimano Baitrunner 8000 D Spinning Reel features all the latest Shimano technologies; from Propulsion Line Management System to S A-RB bearings. The new compact profile lineup 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 freespool with the closed bail allowing fish to run with the bait. By flipping the lever or turning the handle the primary drag quickly engages. Other features include Graphite Frame, Propulsion Line Management System, Varispeed Oscillation, Machined Aluminum Handle, Dartainium II Drag, SA-RB Ball Bearings, Super Stopper Anti-Reverse, Dyna-Balance and Fluidrive II Gearing.
Fish with confidence with the new Shimano Baitrunner 8000D Reel. The Baitrunner delivers better castability, better line lay, less backlash, fewer wind knots or tangles, and less line friction. With larger and more comfortable grips, a higher maximum drag and a wider range of settings than its predecessors, the Shimano Baitrunner 8000D Reel is an excellent choice for your saltwater fishing adventures!
The Rod
The Shimano Maikuro II Telescopic Rod is part of Shimano’s 2020 Maikuro series, expertly engineered to deliver great value, versatility,and performance. This telescopic rod features highly responsive graphite blanks, making it ideal for taking on freshwater fish and even heavier coastal and reef dwellers. The sleek, modern design sports a matt black finish with white, silver and black trims, while the butt configurations utilise Sea Guide carbon hooded reel seats. A combination of cork and EVA grips were selected for the rod to give it the best transmission of bites. Versatile and efficient, Shimano’s Maikuro rods are tried and true favourites amongst anglers.
