Product Information
Made to take on big fish, the Shimano Baitrunner 8000D EU Reel brings the power of the Baitrunner D series to an 8000-size reel. Its rear Baitrunner lever sets the reel to release line in controlled free-spool.
Shimano builds it around an XT-7 body and rotor, with a one-piece bail and a cold-forged aluminium spool and gear. The reel also has a waterproof drag, shielded A-RB bearings, a maintenance port and a single Biomechanical handle.
It weighs 600g, runs a 4.8:1 gear ratio and has 3+1 bearings with a maximum drag of 9kg. Line capacity is 340m of 0.35mm, 230m of 0.40mm or 180m of 0.45mm line, or 250 yards of 17lb line.
