Description
The Shimano Baitrunner ST RB contains all the features you’d expect from a high performance Shimano Baitrunner reel. It is manufactured from XT7 carbon, which is Shimano’s go-to composite reel material.
This creates a strong and rigid housing for the reel’s mechanisms, ensuring that it can stand up to intensive use over an extended period of time. The spool on the reel is manufactured from lightweight aluminium and is constructed on Shimano’s patented AR-C design.
This is an uniquely designed spool with an angled spool lip – proven to prevent backlash and wind knots when you’re casting with a braided mainline. This also helps all line types to peel from the reel in small coils, which aids with accurate distance casting.
Power Roller also helps to eliminate the risk of line twist, whether you’re fishing with a braided mainline or a monofilament line, and this really comes into play when you’re fishing with line on the thinnest end of the spectrum.
The Shimano Baitrunner ST RB is also fitted with the brand’s Varispeed line lay technology. This is a dual gear system – one oval and one square – which ensures that you experience parallel line lay each time you spool up. The reel’s balanced double handle is fitted with Super Stopper II, which eliminates rearward blackplay when the reel is set in anti-reverse. DynaBalance removes reel wobble on the retrieve, too, and it ensures that all the power you push through your handle is directed into the gearing.
