Shimano Baitrunner DL 4000 FB And Vortex Spin Combo 6ft 10in 4-6kg 1pc

Perfectly suited for straylining

Looking for a rod and reel ideal for bait fishing? Then the
Shimano Baitrunner 4000 FB and Vortex Spinning
Combo is the setup you’re looking for. The Baitrunner reel
features the innovative freespool system which allows you to get
into position before engaging the drag. Plus it’s paired up with
the ultra tough and sensitive Vortex rod. Spool it up with a 20lb
or 30lb braid and you’ll have a lethal combo for targeting your
next 20lb Snapper!

The Reel
With a stealth gunmetal grey body, the new Shimano
Baitrunner DL 4000 FB Spinning Reel offers a host of
features unique to the DL family of reels. Three shielded stainless
steel ball bearings produce effortless performance, whilst the
Power Roller helps to eliminate line twist with fine mono and
braid. The 4000 model is equally at home targeting predatory
species with deadbaits or when feeder fishing for hard fighting
fish. Utilising Shimano’s world renowned technology such as AR-C
spool and Varispeed oscillation system the Baitrunner DL offers
optimum efficiency with huge amounts of power in reserve.

The Baitrunner DL has become very popular with match fishos for
feeder fishing where the use of the Baitrunner freespool system is
a big advantage as when engaged it eliminates crack offs on the
take and allows the angler to get into position before engaging the
drag.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations
it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides
longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while
preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows
the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast,
which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer
casts with less friction.

Varispeed
Normal oscillation systems use a constant rotation of the
oscillation gear that, when translated to the cam, provides an
inconsistent spool speed. This results in line lay that stacks at
either end of the spool. By using an oval oscillation gear, Shimano
is able to alter the speed of the oscillation cam to provide a
consistent spool speed. This results in an even line lay that
provides excellent castability and manageability.

The Rod
The Shimano Vortex Spin Rod is a dynamic and
versatile rod that has been designed to fit directly into the Kiwi
lifestyle. This rod features a Power-Carbon blank specially
designed to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so as to
retain sensitivity from the bite to the fight and also enhance
overall performance without compromise. These features allow Kiwi
anglers to take full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing
techniques including the perfect match for the Shimano Baitrunner
series. The Shimano Vortex Spin Rod 6ft 10in 4-6kg
1pc has been designed by Kiwi fishos for Kiwi fishos –
it’s as simple as that!
