✔️ Baitrunner System

The Shimano Baitrunner OC Spinning Reel's Baitrunner feature sets it apart from competitors. It allows anglers to engage in a secondary drag system without opening the bail. This unique capability lets you manage live bait and respond instantaneously when setting the hook, offering flexibility and a critical advantage in landing your catch.

✔️ XT-7 Construction

Built with an XT-7 graphite frame and rotor, the reel is engineered for resilience and lightness, facilitating easier handling and less fatigue during long hours on the water. This construction not only enhances the structural integrity of the reel but also ensures its longevity against the harsh saltwater environment.

✔️ Propulsion Line Management

This system incorporates several design features that lead to longer casts and fewer wind knots. By optimizing the spool dimensions and employing an advanced winding technique, Shimano guarantees improved line lay, even during vigorous casting sessions.

✔️ Fluid Drive 2 Gear System

Enhance your reeling experience with Shimano's Fluid Drive 2 gearing. This gearing maximizes the efficiency of the gear train to provide a smoother and more powerful retrieval. This system transfers more energy with less effort, making it ideal for battling tougher and heavier fish.

✔️ Super Stopper II Anti-Reverse

The Super Stopper II is a one-way bearing that eliminates backplay, giving anglers instant hook-setting power. This system is critical for high-stakes fishing, where every second counts, ensuring your catch has minimal chances to escape.

✔️ Varispeed Oscillation

Varispeed Oscillation technology regulates the speed of the spool's oscillation, resulting in an even line lay and an optimized spool speed that accommodates various line types and thicknesses. This feature is key for achieving precision and reducing line issues like tangling and bunching.
