Shimano Baitrunner DL 2500 FB Spinning Reel

You’re on your way to hauling in that trophy fish

With a stealth gunmetal grey body, the new Shimano
Baitrunner DL 2500 FB Spinning Reel offers a host of
features unique to the DL family of reels. Three shielded stainless
steel ball bearings produce effortless performance, whilst the
Power Roller helps to eliminate line twist with fine mono and
braid. The 2500 model is equally at home targeting predatory
species with deadbaits or when feeder fishing for hard fighting
fish. Utilising Shimano’s world renowned technology such as AR-C
spool and Varispeed oscillation system the Baitrunner DL offers
optimum efficiency with huge amounts of power in reserve.

The Baitrunner DL has become very popular with match fishos for
feeder fishing where the use of the Baitrunner freespool system is
a big advantage as when engaged it eliminates crack offs on the
take and allows the angler to get into position before engaging the
drag.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations
it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides
longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while
preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows
the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast,
which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer
casts with less friction.

Varispeed
Normal oscillation systems use a constant rotation of the
oscillation gear that, when translated to the cam, provides an
inconsistent spool speed. This results in line lay that stacks at
either end of the spool. By using an oval oscillation gear, Shimano
is able to alter the speed of the oscillation cam to provide a
consistent spool speed. This results in an even line lay that
provides excellent castability and manageability.
