Shimano Baitrunner 8000D Spinning Reel – Heavy Offshore Live Bait

Shimano Baitrunner 8000D is the large-size version of the Baitrunner system — built for heavy offshore and large surf live bait fishing where greater line capacity and more powerful drag are needed: yellowfin tuna, large amberjack, GT (Giant Trevally), tarpon, and large surf species.

Key specifications: Gear Ratio 4.8:1 | Ball Bearings 3BB | Front Drag | Baitrunner Dual-Drag System | Large offshore capacity spool.

The larger 8000 frame accommodates more line for offshore applications where long runs after the strike are common. The Baitrunner dual-drag system provides the same free-spool live bait presentation capability as the 4000D at the higher drag levels required for larger, more powerful fish. HAGANE body.
