Shimano Baitrunner reels - still No1! The fact there are so many pretenders is the sincerest form of flattery to Shimano's vast and continuing innovation in reel technology. Remember; "If it don't say Shimano it ain't a Baitrunner".
SUPER BAITRUNNER XTE A
Introducing the new Super Baitrunner XTE-A range of reels for anglers who demand only the best when it comes to a Baitrunner. Ranging in size from 5000 to 10000, there's a size to suit all anglers in the XTE-A family.

The XTE-A contains considerable improvements around its free spool tension and rear drag systems, for easier control. A look inside the new reel will reveal the latest generation of gearing, oscillation and drag systems
BAITRUNNER AERO GTE C
With its retro look, old school black graphite cosmetics - the new Aero GTE-C hails a welcome return to the fold of this legendary Baitrunner model. Now upgraded with a lightweight double handle, cold forged anodised spools and a micro click multi disc rear drag for flawless Baitrunner and fish playing capabilities. The gear ratio has been tweaked from 4.5:1 up to a 4.6:1 ratio developing more line retrieval per crank.

On top of this, there is a 10000 version for long range work and larger diameter mainlines. All the usual attributes are retained in the GTE-C family including Super Stopper II, Dyna Balance, Aero Wrap and 2 speed oscillation making this one of this year's must have carp reels at an affordable price.
BIG BAITRUNNER LC
Who needs awkward conversions for optimum big pit reel performance? With the Big Baitrunner Long Cast it's all integral, the Baitrunner disengaging automatically once the handle is wound forward. With Aero Wrap line lay, impressive casts are assured. Supplied with deep aluminium spool as standard. Shallower version an optional extra.
BAITRUNNER B
One of the most durable reels ever, the original Baitrunner has Dyna Balance to eliminate vibration plus a Triangular Rotor that prevents flex and loss of power when big fish are being cranked under pressure. The famous Shimano Roller Bearing is also incorporated, bringing the total bearing tally to the equivalent of 7. Super Stopper II means the anti reverse kicks into the clutch with zero play for instant action and hook setting.
BAITRUNNER DL
With its midnight blue body and gunmetal grey Cold Forged Aluminium main spool, Baitrunner DL also comes with a spare XT7 spool as standard. Both have prodigious line capacities - 500m of 0.30mm on the 10000 and 270m on the 6000 - and are powered by Zinc Diecast Drive Gear backed by three Shielded Stainless Steel bearings plus a roller bearing.
BAITRUNNER ST
In classic black with an XT7 spool finished in silver, the ST models are packed with far more advanced features than you'd reasonably expect to find on what is now the entry level Baitrunner. Line lay is immaculate thanks to our Varispeed system which involves an oval and a square gear computer engineered to interact perfectly. No longer do you need big money to buy big performance free spool reels.
