Giving you the power and strength to take on rock fishing

The Shimano Baitrunner 8000 D Vortex Rock Combo features some of the most exciting upgrades seen in a Baitrunner reel for years! It pairs the Shimano Baitrunner 8000 D Reel, a medium sized Baitrunner fishing reel making it ideal for stray-lining and live-baiting off the boat or casting from the rocks, with the Shimano Vortex Rock Spinning Rod, a rod that features a Power-Carbon blank specially designed to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so as to retain sensitivity from the bite to the fight and also enhance overall performance without compromise.

With this combo, you can definitely take on the challenges of rock fishing!

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!
