Shimano Baitrunner X-Aero FB Fishing Reel

Anglers in the know will be delighted to come across the Shimano Baitrunner X-Aero FB, an updated version of the esteemed X-Aero 4000 baitrunner reel. Revered by many as a first-rate choice for barbel and specimen coarse fishing, it's no wonder that it's one of Shimano’s top sellers. 

Key Features and Benefits:

Zinc Diecast Gears: The reel incorporates robust and durable zinc diecast gears. Reliable under pressure, these gears ensure a smooth, consistent experience when you're out in the water.

Cold Forged Alu AR-C Spool & Spare AR-C Spool: Renowned for its resilience, the cold-forged aluminium AR-C spool enhances line release during casting. Additionally, the reel is accompanied by a spare AR-C spool, ensuring you're prepared for varying fishing conditions.

Baitrunner System: A system favoured by many, the Baitrunner allows for free line flow under a controlled setting, ensuring better catch rates and avoiding sudden snap-offs.

XT-7 Body and Rotor Material: Manufactured using Shimano’s trademarked XT-7 composite material, the main body and rotor benefit from enhanced rigidity and reduced weight, ensuring longevity and dependable performance.

Varispeed II Line Lay: The Varispeed II system guarantees a more even line lay, which in turn aids in achieving better casting distances and accuracy.

Maintenance Port (Body): Maintenance becomes less of a chore with the inclusion of a maintenance port, allowing for easier lubrication and ensuring that the reel remains in top working condition.

Super Stopper II: An anti-reverse feature that ensures instant hook setting capabilities, reducing chances of missed opportunities.

Dynabalance & Power-roller: Eliminate any wobble during the retrieve. The Dynabalance system effectively counters reel vibration, while the Power-roller reduces line twist, ensuring a smoother experience.

Stamping Bail: A durable and long-lasting bail mechanism that promises steadfast performance.

Double Handle: Enhancing control and providing a comfortable grip, the double handle feature ensures optimal reel handling.
