Shimano Baitrunner DL 4000 FB and Vortex Spin Combo 6ft 10in 4-6kg 1pc

Perfectly suited for straylining

Looking for a rod and reel ideal for bait fishing? Then the Shimano Baitrunner 4000 FB and Vortex Spinning Combo is the setup you're looking for. The Baitrunner reel features the innovative freespool system which allows you to get into position before engaging the drag. Plus it's paired up with the ultra tough and sensitive Vortex rod. Spool it up with a 20lb or 30lb braid and you'll have a lethal combo for targeting your next 20lb Snapper!

The Reel
With a stealth gunmetal grey body, the new Shimano Baitrunner DL 4000 FB Spinning Reel offers a host of features unique to the DL family of reels. Three shielded stainless steel ball bearings produce effortless performance, whilst the Power Roller helps to eliminate line twist with fine mono and braid. The 4000 model is equally at home targeting predatory species with deadbaits or when feeder fishing for hard fighting fish. Utilising Shimano’s world renowned technology such as AR-C spool and Varispeed oscillation system the Baitrunner DL offers optimum efficiency with huge amounts of power in reserve.

The Baitrunner DL has become very popular with match fishos for feeder fishing where the use of the Baitrunner freespool system is a big advantage as when engaged it eliminates crack offs on the take and allows the angler to get into position before engaging the drag.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

Varispeed
Normal oscillation systems use a constant rotation of the oscillation gear that, when translated to the cam, provides an inconsistent spool speed. This results in line lay that stacks at either end of the spool. By using an oval oscillation gear, Shimano is able to alter the speed of the oscillation cam to provide a consistent spool speed. This results in an even line lay that provides excellent castability and manageability.

The Rod
The Shimano Vortex Spin Rod 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 4-6kg 1pc has been designed by Kiwi fishos for Kiwi fishos - it's as simple as that!
