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 8000 D Reel 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 8000D Baitrunner 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 Aquatip Spinning Rod comes from the popular series of Shimano's best value for money products. Designed with a roller tip that provides quality performance when reeling in big fish, this rod works great during saltwater fishing. It features well-shaped EVA grips and hooded winches that ensure reliability. The new striking finish also makes the rod look better and tougher.
