The 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.
The new 8000 size opens up a whole world of new options to anglers such as saltwater casting and bait fishing for a variety of pelagic gamefish offshore.
- Graphite Frame and Sideplate
- Cold Forged Aluminium Spool
- Water-proof drag
- Propulsion Line Management System: The new Propulsion Line Management System provides the angler longer casts, with less effort, while drastically reducing the chance of backlash, wind knots or tangles.
- Varispeed Oscillation: 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, we are 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.
- S Concept: S-Concept represents Shimano's initial philosophy on which many of our spinning reel have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and Strong.
- Power Roller III: This is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support to help line get onto the roller quicker.
- Machined Aluminium Handle
- Dartainium II Drag Washers (Cross Carbon)
- Repairable Clicker
- S A-RB (Shielded A-RB Ball Bearings): These bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing's rotation.
- Super Stopper Anti-Reverse: Super Stopper anti-reverse uses a one-way stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates back-play in the handle. This provides the angler with instant hook-setting power.
- Dyna-Balance: Dyna-Balance eliminates reel wobble during the retrieve by counter-balancing the rotor to enhance winding smoothness.
- Floating Shaft
