Cast out better with less effort
Find all the right gear for your softbait fishing pursuits in the
reliable
Shimano 4000D Baitrunner and Catana Softbait
Combo. This combo takes the impressive secondary drag
system of the 4000D Baitrunner Reel and pairs it with the Catana
Rod’s hard-wearing graphite blank to give you a combo that offers
precision combined and toughness you’re looking for in a combo.
The Reel
The
Shimano 4000D Baitrunner Reel is the
culmination of years of engineering advances in Shimano’s premium
bait fishing range. Designed for larger New Zealand salt-water
fishing species, the
Shimano 4000D 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 4000D 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 4000D 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 7kgs 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, stray-lining a pillie or out to smash some
kingies on a live bait, your
Shimano 4000D Baitrunner
Reel will have you covered for years to come.
The Rod
The
Shimano Catana Soft Bait Spinning Rod is every
bit as sharp as the Japanese swords they are named after. It is
constructed from tough graphite blanks, hardloy guides and cork and
EVA grips. Plus, this rod has graphite reel seats. Light, strong,
and sensitive - great for softbaiting.
