Destined to become a huge hit, Shimano introduce two new freespool reels - the baitrunner DL and the Baitrunner ST - which will elevate this legendary marque to even greater heights of popularity with specimen anglers worldwide. Baitrunner - the original free spool reel has seen many technological advances and cosmetic alterations over the last three decades, spawning countless imitators along the way. But confidence in our own design and development process has always given Shimano total belief in one simple fact: All the others are only competing to be 'best of the rest'. Baitrunner ST In classic black with an XT7 spool finished in silver, the ST models are packed with far more advanced features than you'd reasonably expect to find on a Baitrunner at this price point. Line lay is good thanks to our Varispeed oscillation which involves an oval and a square gear, computer engineered to interact perfectly. Incorporating a gutsy 4.6:1 retrieve, double handle and the equivalent of 5 ball bearings, the ST is available in both 6000 and 10000 models, if you'e looking for a quality entry-level free spool reel, look no further than the new Baitrunner ST.
