Cosmetically these reels are a dream to look at. In stunning gun metal grey these reels would look sleek and smart on any high end carp rod. However the aesthetics pale in comparison to the technology at play in these reels. Featuring a classic AR-C spool, Varispeed oscillation ensures that you are able to achieve a faultless line lay each time. The Baitrunner system allows you to enjoy a huge variety of tension settings and enables you to switch between freespool mode and fight mode in a matter of moments. Coming into play when it really counts, the Baitrunner DL’s Super Stopper II ensures that you’ll always land your catch.

Dyna-balance comes into its own when you’re playing a hard fighting fish and it completely eliminates reel wobble. Ball bearings, as well as Floating Shaft II technology, extend the longevity of your reel as well as improving the smoothness of performance. Reels come under considerable strain in their lifespan and these technologies ensure that the Baitrunner DL doesn’t let you down when it matters. Whether you’re after a top quality front drag reel or you’re in the market for a rear drag performance piece you need look no further than this offering from Shimano.

Available in Medium and Big sizes to handle every condition you’re likely to fish, and every fish you’re likely to come across, these reels come fully loaded with all of the stand-out, high performance technology you’d expect from Shimano. A large AR-C spool brings slow oscillation, giving you longer casting distances while preventing backlashes and wind knots, ensuring your cast is always smooth, with a subtle strike that won’t startle the fish, while Aero Wrap II, a worm gear oscillation system that ensures a uniform lay and winding shape, keeps your line looking sleek on every single cast, no matter how inexperienced with the demands of long range casting you may be. For those with significant long-range casting experience, these features draw attention to you and your action for all the right reasons, setting you apart on the bank and in the water. Meanwhile, the XShip system offers two-point support of a smooth, stable, durable gearing system, which runs on an ultra-light handle rotation for strong, subtle peak performance under the strain of even the biggest, liveliest fish.

Playing these large, lively fish is made effortless by the redesign of the gearing on the Shimano reels, which results in minimal friction, greater winding power, improved torque, and an increased transfer of power through the rotor, from the handle.

Both the Big and Medium Baitrunners come with line reducers, which enable you to easily adjust the spool capacity to suit your personal preference and angling style. In terms of practical application, the Big Baitrunner is best suited to hunting carp across large areas of water, and to stalking wild carp, who are likely to stay in the far margins; with the Big Baitrunner reel, you can accurately and smoothly cast out to wary, wild carp distance, presenting your bait in a spot where the carp already are, and where they feel relaxed about feeding.

On smaller waters, and at popular commercial fisheries where the carp are more docile and trusting, you’re still looking for smooth precision in bait presentation, but long-range casting ability isn’t such an issue. These waters are best fished on the Medium Baitrunner reel, which is lighter and easier to handle in a more confined swim on crowded waters.

Offering a silk-smooth cast, subtle, accurate presentation, top-spec technology and a go-to gearing, and featuring simple, classic, matte black styling, the Shimano Baitrunner is a reel apart, and will give you the looks and performance you need to truly stand out on the bank, and in the swim.

Built to handle anything carp fishing, and big, lively carp themselves, can throw at it, the Shimano Baitrunner has to be the ultimate reel for the committed carp angling enthusiast, combining sophisticated style with practical performance, and elevating an established classic to the realms of legendary angling kit. There’s 30yrs of Shimano design, engineering, and styling packed into the Baitrunner XT-B LC, and with its dynamic functionality and striking appearance, this offering from Shimano looks set to see angling through at least another three decades of top-of-the-game casting perfection.

Designed for anglers who want all the reliability, durability, and quality of unrivalled Shimano Baitrunner technology, but who don’t want to pay the price tag, the Shimano Baitrunner ST RB is a perfect choice.

As the name suggests, the Shimano Baitrunner ST RB operates on Shimano’s famous Baitrunner system. For those who haven’t used it before, this is a lever that is located on the rear of the reel. By activating this lever, it allows the reel to operate in a controlled freespool. This enables any fish which takes your bait to be able to run freely with your line. You can then deactivate the lever to reengage your drag, allowing you to determine exactly when you’re setting your hook to play your catch. This is a system that is revered by expert and novice anglers alike and, if you’ve never used it before, it has the ability to revolutionise the way you fish.

The Baitrunner system from Shimano is one of the easiest to use on the market, which has made it a favourite for carp anglers worldwide, whether they are lifelong carp fishing fanatics or newcomers to the sport. The ST RB is no different.

The Shimano Baitrunner ST RB is manufactured from XT7 carbon which 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 ST Rb reel boasts a uniquely designed spool with an angled spool lip which has been 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.

The Power Roller feature 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 a line on the thinnest end of the spectrum.

The Shimano Baitrunner ST RB is also fitted with the brand’s Varispeed line lay technology which is a dual gear system – one oval and one square. This ensures that you experience parallel line lay each time you spool up.

The Baitrunner reel’s balanced double handle is fitted with Super Stopper II, which eliminates rearward back play 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.

The larger reel size; 10000 packs that little extra punch, and is primed for anglers whose target fish are on the larger end of the spectrum. Both reels are suitable for large and small waters alike and feature powerful 4.6:1 gear ratios.

All the stats indicate that the Baitrunner ST RB is an excellent reel at an unbelievable price, and not only does the reel perform exceptionally but it also looks stunning too. Keeping with the latest trends, the reel features understated graphics and has a sleek matt black finish. This ensures that it will look great sitting on any top-end carp rod.
