I love using


the Baitrunner facility when


feeder fishing, it eliminates lost fish on the bite


and because it’s an innovation unique to


Shimano, you


know it won’t let you down.

I have been using the


New release..


The X-Aero is the latest addition to the family, featuring the classic compact body, with spools that are 30% larger in circumference


between small compact Baitrunners and supersized big pit reels. Powerful, work horse reels full of the best Shimano technical innovations, these reels offer the effortless Baitrunner technology to a casting reel capable of tackling the biggest of waters and the toughest of fish. Medium and large versions are available in both standard and with Ci4+ technology. The Ci4+ technology really takes the long-cast


reels to a new level, providing massive weight savings and outstanding casting performance. Considering they are the only Baitrunners featuring Shimano’s X-Ship gearing, it is easy to see why these reels have won so many awards. Super strong Baitrunner D’s and saltwater


worthy Baitrunner OC’s are also available in 4000 to 12000 sizes.


What the angler’s say ..


Don’t just take our word for it! Countless anglers have been using Baitrunners for over three decades here is just some of the feedback we have received.


DARRAN GOULDER Specimen hunter, Drennan Cup winner


“My first ever Baitrunner was a 6010 Aero GT which my dad bought me for my birthday, close to 20 years ago! Back when you bought reels in singles, not three at a time! They lasted me for many summers and winters, fishing for everything that swam until I was approached by Shimano to be a consultant some 10 years later! Ever since then, I’ve used them in 4000 size up to


10000 for all of my fishing. When casting feeders for tench, or setting traps stalking for barbel, switching the reel to freespool couldn’t be simpler. I dread to think how long I would have spent adjusting the clutch over all the years without it. They are reliable and without it, it would no doubt have cost me fish at some point or another. They have stood the test of time, and expect they will do for another 30 years.”


IAIN MACMILLAN Carp Fishing expert


“For me there really isn’t a smoother, more finely balanced reel out there than a Baitrunner. It’s stood the test of time for more than 30 years and will never be beaten, not just for sheer pleasurable looks, but for its out and out performance from every single part it’s manufactured from. Whether it’s punching a rig out 100 yards, dropping a bait right under my rod tips, or trying desperately to outwit one off the top, Baitrunner takes it all in its stride and does what it has always done… performs.”


MARK POLLARD Match fishing expert and coach


“I have fallen in love with the Baitrunner X Aero


FA in both 2500 and 4000 models. Two main points come to mind, one, they perform so smoothly, and two, with the spool reducers provided, they make the casting of larger diameter lines easy. The confidence the Baitrunner gives you in fishing the method feeder or straight lead is that every take is a fish in the net. I can remember fishing without them and having my rod and reel pulled in. That is a thing of the past and, providing your Baitrunner is set correctly, you will be confident of not being broken on the bite. To me, a Baitrunner is a must on all commercial tip work.”
