The Shimano Baitrunner 8000D has been available in the NZ market for a long time and continues to perform year in and year out. Predominately used for straylining for snapper this reel features Dartanium drag washers for silky smooth drag performance, Varispeed Oscillation System for optimal line lay and Propulsion Line Management for optimal casting distance and less resistance from line coming off the reel. All that and more combines to offer 9kg of maximum drag, 4.8:1 gear ratio, 92cm per crank, a comfortable power grip and the handle can be alternated between left and right.
Paired with a Shimano 6'10'' Vortex 6-10kg 1 piece rod, it is a composite blank with an integrated tip offering excellent durability from knocks that can occur on the boat, while still offering sensitivity and responsiveness. Titanium Oxide Sea-guides and a Shimano graphite reel seat round out this great value entry-mid range rod.
Combined, this combo has excellent balance, great power and performs very well for the price, so if you are wanting to go to the next level with your straylining outfit, then the Shimano Baitrunner 8000D / Vortex 6-10kg combo is for you!
