REEL:
The Shimano Baitrunner D series is the product of precise engineering advances in Shimano's premium bait fishing range. This series has raised the bar on previous models and now can deliver the most impressive baitrunner that New Zealand angler's have ever seen.
The range comes in four models, which have been designed with Kiwi saltwater anglers in mind. They can cover a range of different fishing styles such as saltwater casting from the shore or boat, or straylining gently weighted baits down a berley slick intended for XOS snapper.
Each model has a waterproof drag system, Vari-speed oscillation (Aero on 12000), cold forged aluminium spool, lightweight yet strong graphite body with metallic black finish, Power Roller III, Super Stopper II, Dyna Balance and propulsion line management system so that your reel can cope with the increasing popularity of using braided lines such as Power Pro.
The Baitrunner range also includes two larger 8000 and 12000 models with generous line capacities. The ultimate choice for Saltwater fisherman.
