The Reel

Superseding the well known Shimano Baitrunner B series,
the Shimano Baitrunner 8000OC‘s 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 8000OC is a
medium sized Baitrunner fishing reel 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 8000OC 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 8000OC would have
to be one of the most versatile, affordable bait fishing reels out
and is without a doubt the one reel you must have next time you hit
the water!

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Spinning Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

EVA Full Grips
Customised EVA grips, shaped for maximum comfort and performance.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
