Shimano Baitrunner 4000 D Reel

The most impressive Shimano Baitrunner that New Zealand’s
anglers have ever seen

The Shimano 4000D Baitrunner Reel is the
culmination of years of engineering advances in Shimano’s premium
bait fishing range. Designed for larger New Zealand salt-water
fishing species, the Shimano 4000D Baitrunner Reel
has raised the bar on previous models and now can deliver the most
impressive Baitrunner that New Zealand’s anglers have ever
seen.

The Shimano 4000D Baitrunner Reel features all the
latest Shimano technologies, from Propulsion Line Management System
to S A-RB bearings. This new compact reel can handle nearly any
live-bait application but still maintain the incredible durability
of the legendary Baitrunner Series. The key feature of the Shimano
Baitrunner is its secondary drag system which maintains a
controlled free-spool with the closed bail allowing fish to run
with the bait. By flipping the lever or turning the handle, the
primary drag quickly engages allowing you to strike once your catch
has eaten the bait.

Key features of the Shimano 4000D Baitrunner Reel
include: Shimano’s Cold Forged Spool for increased strength and
durability over die-cast aluminium or graphite spools, Propulsion
Line Management System so your reel can cope with using super
braided lines, Varispeed Oscillation for even line lay on your
spool, Dartainium II Drag giving you 7kgs of stopping power, SA-RB
Ball Bearings that reduce the possibility of sand or salt
inhibiting the bearings rotation, Super Stopper Anti-Reverse that
eliminates back-play and provides you with instant hook-setting
power, Dyna-Balance to create smooth rotation and eliminate
vibrations in the reel and Fluidrive II Gearing giving you
increased efficiency of retrieve for more power with less
effort. 

Whether you’re casting, stray-lining a pillie or out to smash some
kingies on a live bait, your Shimano 4000D Baitrunner
Reel will have you covered for years to come.
