Looking for a rod and reel ideal for casting from the rocks? Then
the Shimano Baitrunner 12000 OC and Vortex Rock
Combo is the setup you’re looking for. The tough
Baitrunner reel delivers better castability, making it ideal for
long-casting and it’s paired up with the rugged Vortex rod, built
to suit most fishing conditions. With this rod and reel combo,
you’ll tackle your next Snapper with ease!
The Reel
Superseding the well known Shimano Baitrunner B series, the
Shimano Baitrunner 12000OCÂ 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 12000OC features a huge
12kgs of drag making it ideal for stray-lining 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 12000OC 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 12000OC 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 team at Shimano Fishing NZ have developed a dynamic and
versatile series of rods that has been designed to handle New
Zealand fishing conditions. The Shimano Vortex Rock Spin
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 you to take
full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques.
This rod is ideal for land based rock fishing.
