Shimano CI4 14000 XTB LC Surf Reel

The 'CI4+' version of the Baitrunner offers mind blowing performance for anglers wanting the ultimate long distance reel, combined with stunning cosmetics. Built using the very latest CI4+ (Carbon Interfusion) composite, the weight reduction of this range is remarkable and almost defies logic. New for 2013/14 is a Medium sized version which is perfect for medium and long range fishing. Claimed by some to be the best Baitrunner ever, the Baitrunner CI4+ features Shimano X-ship engineering technology and 6 Shielded AR-C bearings for maximum smoothness and efficiency. Aero Wrap II, plus 2-speed slow oscillation ensures superb line lay, which in turn improves distance casting by reducing line friction to a minimum. The large aluminium handle, powerful gear ratio and multidisc front drag all combine to deliver prestigious winding power and brilliant fish-playing control both at distance and close to the net.

Big Baitrunner by name, bigger fish reel by nature. This is the definitive casting and big fish catching piece of kit. The most awesome reel for extreme range work, hauling big snapper from snag infested areas, or throwing baits out. The Long Cast has the capacity and the capability. It casts unlike any other reel in it’s category thanks to the tournament taper spool and Aero Wrap, cranks like a demon with more power to your elbow than an old fashioned mangle, it puts you in charge each and every time in any sticky situation. 

Baitrunner
One of the most durable reels ever, the original Baitrunner now has Dyna Balance to eliminate vibration plus a Triangular Rotor that prevents flex and loss of power when big fish are being cranked under pressure. The famous Shimano Roller Bearing has been added, bringing the total bearing tally to the equivalent of 7. Super Stopper II means the anti reverse kicks into the clutch with zero play for instant action and hook setting.

LONG CAST Surf
Shimano Baitrunner reels are well known all over the world and for landbased fishing enthusiasts you cannot go past the Baitrunner long cast surf reel.

It features the Baitrunner mode in the original design with free spool adjustment in the rear of the reel and drag power adjustment in the front of the reel with the drag knob.

Power performance and reliability with this reel is right up 'there' featuring 5 ARB bearings, a roller bearing, machined aluminium handle, brass pinion gear and a cold forged drive gear.
