The long-standing king of live bait spinning reels, the Shimano® Baitrunner continues to improve with each new model. The Baitrunner feature lets you freespool with the bail closed, employing an adjustable secondary drag; and it can be flipped off instantaneously when you are ready to set the hook and bring the fish in. The XT-7 graphite frame and rotor provide exceptional strength and rigidity while cutting down on weight. Other assets include Dyna-Balance rotor control, cold-forged aluminum spool an oversized power roller, Propulsion Line Management system, fluid Drive 2 gearing system, Super Stopper II anti-reverse system, Direct Drive Mechanism, and Varispeed Oscillation system.
