Shimano Baitrunner Fishing Reels For Sale
Anglers, If you want to improve your catch rates using live or dead baits seriously, Shimano Baitrunner reels are a top-notch option worth exploring. These specialised fishing reels allow fish to take off with the bait without feeling your resistance, making them much more likely to get hooked. Then, once the fish is on, you can easily engage the drag and fight it!
So, what makes the Shimano Baitrunner reel design so effective? The key is the switch that lets the spool spin freely when a fish takes your bait. This lack of tension means the fish doesn't realise you're on the other end of the line. But when you're ready, you flip the switch to engage the drag, allowing you to land the fish readily.
Here's the scoop: Shimano Baitrunner reels excel using juicy live or dead baits. Species like bream, flathead, mulloway, and snapper can't resist gobbling down these tasty morsels. The free spool allows them to take off and swallow the bait, leading to better hooksets and fewer dropped fish compared to standard reels.
The great news is that Shimano Baitrunner reels come in various sizes suitable for everything from breaming the estuaries to tackling bulky snapper and mulloway offshore. More compact models, such as the 2500, are ideal for finicky bream and whiting, while larger Shimano Baitrunner reels, such as the 12,000, have the muscle for hard-fighting brutes out deep.
In our range, the Shimano Baitrunner ST offers smooth and reliable performance at a budget-friendly price point. The muscular Shimano Baitrunner OC also delivers excellent value for money and serious cranking power. Then there is the D series in between, with a few extra bells and whistles.
However, Thunnus reels are at the cutting edge of baitrunner technology, with astonishing strength despite their light weight.
So, in summary, whatever Shimano Baitrunner reel you choose to purchase, you can have confidence it's engineered to provide a real advantage when using live or dead bait. Allowing fish to take the bait unimpeded before you engage the reel is a deadly technique.
Pair with quality baits and watch your catch rates climb. For anyone wanting to step up their live bait fishing, check out our full range of Shimano Baitrunner models for sale.
