The Reel
The Shimano Baitrunner reels have been the most dominant brand of
Baitrunner on the market for many years now. The quality of these
Shimano Baitrunner reels is exceptional. The Shimano
Baitrunner D is the paramount range of the new Baitrunner
collection, boasting the best features of the previous range and
boldly combining them with new Shimano technologies and design to
deliver the best Baitrunner yet.

Notable Features
The Shimano 8000D Baitrunner Reel features all the
latest Shimano technologies; from Propulsion Line Management System
to S A-RB bearings. The new compact profile lineup 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 freespool with the closed bail allowing fish to run
with the bait. By flipping the lever or turning the handle the
primary drag quickly engages. Other features include Graphite
Frame, Propulsion Line Management System, Varispeed Oscillation,
Machined Aluminum Handle, Dartainium II Drag, SA-RB Ball Bearings,
Super Stopper Anti-Reverse, Dyna-Balance and Fluidrive II
Gearing.

Fish with confidence with the new Shimano Baitrunner 8000D
Reel. The Baitrunner delivers better castability, better
line lay, less backlash, fewer wind knots or tangles, and less line
friction. With larger and more comfortable grips, a higher maximum
drag and a wider range of settings than its predecessors, the
Shimano Baitrunner 8000D Reel is an excellent
choice for your saltwater fishing adventures!
