Effortless power and performance
Looking for a rod and reel combo ideal for stray-lining or casting
from the boat? Then the Shimano Baitrunner 4000 D Vortex
Strayline Combo is the set-up you’re looking for. The
Baitrunner reel makes it ideal for stray-lining and the super
versatile Vortex rod is made to suit most fishing conditions. A
great baitrunner combo that strikes the perfect balance between
quality and value.
The Reel
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.Â
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.
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!
