The Reel
The Shimano Baitrunner 12000 D Spinning Reel is the product of precise engineering advances in Shimano's premium bait fishing range. Designed with Kiwi saltwater fishos in mind, this versatile reel can cover different fishing style such as saltwater casting from the shore or boat or straylining lightly weighted baits down a berley slick intended for XOS Snapper. It's also great for catching Kingies.

The Baitrunner 1200 D features a waterproof drag system, Aero-Speed oscillation, cold forged aluminium spool, lightweight yet strong graphite body with metallic black finish, Power Roller III, Super Stopper II, Dyna-Balance and propulsion line management system. The 12000 D also has a generous line capacity making it the ultimate choice for reef or saltwater fishos.

Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

Super Stopper II
Super Stopper II anti-reverse uses a one-way bearing that eliminates backplay. This provides the angler with instant hook setting power. In some reels, the Super Stopper II can be turned off to allow backreeling for special techniques and situations.

Power Roller
This is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support to help line get onto the roller quicker.

Aero Wrap II Oscillation System
Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the Propulsion Spool Lip design. It provides uniform line lay and winding shape to prevent loss of energy during the cast while providing longer casts than other oscillation systems. So, casting distance increases with less effort required.

Dyna Balance
This feature eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing, an approach similar to car tire balancing, Shimano is able to redistribute the rotor weight to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations caused by the reel.
