Product Information
Shimano’s Baitrunner ST 6000 RB suits specimen and specialist fishing for medium carp, barbel, tench, pike and zander bait fishing.
Its rear Baitrunner lever engages freespool so line can pay out after a bite until you are ready to strike, while the balanced double handle is fitted to the 6000 size.
An XT7 body and spool keep the reel’s construction consistent, with Varispeed line lay and an aluminium AR-C spool. Dyna Balance reduces vibration, while the oversized Power Roller is designed to reduce line twist during the retrieve.
The ST 6000 RB has a rear drag, long-life bail spring and one ball bearing plus one roller bearing. It weighs 550g, has a 4.6:1 gear ratio and retrieves 85cm of line per turn, with a maximum drag force of 6kg.
