Shimano Baitrunner OC Fishing Reel

Shimano Baitrunner OC Reels

The Shimano Baitrunner OC Reels are perfect for the flesh bait and live bait anglers. The famous Shimano Baitrunner system allows fish to take a bait with virtually no resistance. Without being spooked, the fish takes the bait aggressively and runs.

With a turn of the handle, the OC Baitrunner system transfers to the pre-set drag system, and the angler can strike. With the OC Baitrunner system, more strikes become hook-ups.

The reel sizes cover a wide range of fishing applications. The 4000 has the inshore grounds nailed, including the beach. Ideal for live worms and nippers, you’ll be chasing everything from big bream to big flathead.

A 6000 OC is perfect for the beach and lighter rock fishing applications. It has all the power required for casting long for tailor, bonito and big Aussie salmon. Bump up to the 8000, and you can live bait for mulloway and hit the reef for some extra-large snapper.

The 12000 OC will serve you well live baiting the beach and rock walls for huge mulloway. It will be great for bait fishing the bottom outside the heads, as well as chasing the like of some species of Tuna. Rock anglers will like it for tackling the stalwart drummer and groper, kingfish and mackerel with live baits.
