Cast out better with less effort

Find all the right gear for your softbait fishing pursuits in the reliable Shimano Baitrunner 4000 OC and Catana Softbait Combo. This combo takes the impressive drag system of the 4000 OC 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
Superseding the well known Shimano Baitrunner B series, the Shimano Baitrunner 4000OC 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 4000OC is a medium sized Baitrunner fishing reel making it ideal for stray-lining 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 4000OC 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 4000OC would have to be one of the most versatile 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 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.
