Shimano Big Baitrunner XTB Backbone Surfcasting Combo 14ft 6in 10-15kg 3pc

Superior strength and reliability

The Shimano Big Baitrunner XTB Backbone Surfcasting
Combo is perfect for saltwater anglers who want a
heavy-duty rod and reel combo. The heavy-duty Backbone rod
complements the ultra strong and smooth Big Baitrunner XTB reel.
Matched to provide longer casting distance and accuracy.

The Reel
The new and improved Shimano Big Baitrunner XTB Long Cast
Surfcasting Reel is back and fully stocked with the best
of Shimano technologies. It features a large AR-C spool with slow
oscillation in combination with the Aero Wrap II line lay system.
This ensures maximum distance casting performance. The X-Ship
system is also included to ensure a smooth power transfer and
stability or the gears thanks to the two point support of the
pinion gear by ball bearings.

All 4 ball bearings are shielded A-RB for increased durability and
the gears are redesigned to minimise friction and increase power
transfer from the long aluminium handle to the rotor. This delivers
more torque and winding power making fish playing easier and
delivers more control. The big size, with its perfect casting
performance is perfect for beach casting where distance is
everything.

Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide strength and durability over diecast aluminium
or graphite spools.

Aero Wrap II Oscillation System
Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially
designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the
Propulsion Spool Lip design. It provides uniform line lay and
winding shape to prevent loss of energy during the cast while
providing longer casts than other oscillation systems. So, casting
distance increases with less effort required.

Shielded Anti-Reverse Bearings
These bearings have been through the same process as the A-RB
bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that
reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings’
rotation.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings
and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing
efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with
ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect
rotation even under heavy loads.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new
Shimano Backbone Surf Spin 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.
