Shimano Baitrunner ST 4000 RB Spinning Reel

The Baitrunner ST 6000RB makes their Baitrunner technology more accessible and will elevate this legendary marque to even greater heights of popularity with fishers worldwide.  A fast and efficient way to set your reel in free-spool mode to allow fish to take line and run freely.  The free-spool mode can then be automatically disengaged by turning the handle when you are ready to set the hook and play a fish using the reel's standard drag.

• XT-7 carbon construction
• Dyna-balance
• Super Stopper II
• Baitrunner free-spool technology
• Rear drag
• Dual gear system
• 4.6:1 gear ratio

This RB version features a rear drag adjustment so both the drag and Baitrunner tension are adjusted via separate dials at the back of the reel.  A quick flick of the lever is all it takes to engage the Baitrunner.  The ST RB comes in a sleek and timeless matte black finish with an XT7 spool finished in silver.  The XT7 composite carbon is also Shimano's tried and tested material for a reel that will stand up to rigorous use on the bank.

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 gear ratio, double handle and the equivalent of 5 ball bearings.
