The Reel
Superseding the well known Shimano Baitrunner B series, the Shimano Baitrunner 8000OC is the latest release in Shimano’s Baitrunner range. This new series boasts some of the most exciting upgrades seen in a Baitrunner reel for years, yet it still consists of the elements which made Baitrunner a household name for Kiwi fishermen. 

The Shimano Baitrunner 8000OC is a medium sized Baitrunner fishing reel making it ideal for straylining and live-baiting off the boat or casting from the rocks. This new range now comes with a replaceable spool clicker, Vari-speed oscillation to make sure you get perfect line lay with Power Pro and other braided lines, and Propulsion Line management to give you that extra distance while casting. 

Not only have the handles been upgraded from the B series, but the Shimano Baitrunner 8000OC also features a Cold Forged spool for increased strength and durability and Shimano's Fluidrive II which increases the efficiency of the retrieve for more power with less effort.

The Shimano Baitrunner 8000OC would have to be one of the most versatile, affordable bait fishing reels out and is without a doubt the one reel you must have next time you hit the water!

The Rod
The Shimano Vortex Spin Rod 6ft 10in 6-10kg 1pc is a dynamic and versatile rod that has been designed to fit directly into the Kiwi lifestyle. This rod 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. These features allow Kiwi anglers to take full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques including the perfect match for the Shimano Baitrunner series. The Shimano Vortex Spin Rod 6ft 10in 6-10kg 1pc has been designed by Kiwi fishos for Kiwi fishos - it's as simple as that!
