Purpose-built for serious saltwater action, the Shimano Thunnus 4000 CI4 and Blackout combo delivers lightweight power, finesse, and precision—ideal for straylining, livebaiting, or casting big baits to hard-fighting snapper and kingfish.
The Reel:
The robust CI4 build of the Thunnus is a baitrunner afficionado's dream.
Whether it is stray-lining, live-baiting or casting poppers from the bricks for trophy sized snapper and kingfish or feeding a big fresh bait down a berley trail- the robust Thunnus Ci4 series is the baitrunner aficionado's dream.
Built for larger saltwater fish species the Thunnus is a baitrunner afficionado's dream. After freespooning your offering down the water column to your target species, the baitrunner function is switched on. The spool turns slowly, as a fish is fooled to take the bait under what seems like near zero tension, turn the handle and engage the main drag system -- you're on!
Featrures include lightweight, metalic blue CI4 body and rotor, Propulsion Line Management System, Power Roller II, One-Piece Bail, aluminium spool, baitrunner function and screw-in handle assembly with Septon grip.

The Rod:
The Blackout features Shimano's innovative T45 construction. The blank is built by rolling graphite tape at a linear 45-degree angle and reinforcing it with two sheets of graphite rolled at opposing angles. This creates a lightweight blank with outstanding recovery and sensitivity. Fuji Alconite guides have been used throughout the build, ensuring the Blackout offers the trouble-free performance expected by experienced lure fisherman. While a Fuji soft-touch reel seat combines with exceptionally comfortable WINN grips to provide the Blackout with a unique feel previously only found in custom built rods.
