Reel Baitrunner XTB

The Baitrunner XTB-LC is available in two sizes - ‘Big’ with its awesome casting performance and a smaller ‘Medium’ size ideal for medium range work. Both are fitted with the latest technology, including oversized long range spools and Shimano’s famous Baitrunner freespool facility.
The ‘Big Baitrunner’ has legendary status among carp anglers. If you are after a long range reel with the famous Shimano freespool facility, this is the reel for you. The original version was launched over 25 years ago to the highest acclaim, and years of refinement and increasingly advanced technology have been added to this latest version. The result is a reel you can totally trust. Long casting, with awesome cranking power, match it with any 12ft or 13ft TX rod, with an Intensity action, and you’ll have a set-up that will maximise your performance and increase enjoyment.
Inside the black stealth body of the Baitruunner XTB-LC is a combination of HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP. These deliver smooth, powerful rotation with enormous cranking power to overcome the largest carp and even the toughest European catfish. The huge aluminium AR-C spool of the largest model holds an enormous amount of line and benefits from Slow Speed oscillation combined with Aero Wrap, delivering stunning line lay. However, for anglers not needing such a large capacity, Line Reducers are included. For medium and smaller waters check out the ‘Medium’ sized version which offers a great compromise of size and balance, whilst still retaining all of the important features and attributes of its larger brother.

HAGANE GEAR

The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.


XSHIP_RL_SP
X SHIP

X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.


AR-CSPOOL_RL_SP
AR-C SPOOL

The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.


SA-RB_RL_SP
SA-RB

S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.
