Shimano Baitrunner ST 10000 RB Reel

Shimano Baitrunner ST 10000 RB Reel. For anglers wanting reliable Shimano Baitrunner technology on a small budget, the new Baitrunner ST-RB is the natural choice. Understated graphics, in keeping with the latest trends in carp fishing, a traditional easy-to-use rear Baitrunner system, balanced double handle, aluminium AR-C spool and Varispeed line lay all combine to produce an affordable reel with lots of credibility. The 6000 size makes a great specimen and specialist fishing reel suitable for medium sized carp, barbel, tench and predator bait fishing for pike and zander, whilst the larger 10000 size is more suitable for larger fish from both large and small waters alike. Both reels have a powerful 4.6:1 gear ratio which delivers plenty of power when playing large fish.

ARC Spool
Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more
accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.

Baitrunner System
Baitrunner was a breakthrough in big fish angling  a feature that has proved so beneficial that it has become a standard on big fish reels. Baitrunner is a lever located on the rear of the reel that allows the reel to be set so that line is released in controlled freespool.

XT7
XT7 is the original Shimano composite reel material. Used on midpriced and budget reels and spools XT7 is reliable, robust and lightweight.

Varispeed
Good quality line lay is the most important feature for precise, long and accurate casting. Shimano’s revolutionary ‘Varispeed’ System consists of two specially designed gears. One is oval and the other a remarkable square shape! Only a special computer program developed by Shimano has been able to make these to shapes fit together perfectly – the result is perfect parallel line lay and improved fishing precision.

Super Stopper II
Super Stopper II eliminates backward movement and free play in the handle when the reel is set in antireverse.

Dynabalance
DynaBalance reduces wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing Shimano are able to redistribute
the rotor weight to create eliminate vibrations.

Power Roller
The special grooved design of the Shimano Power Roller significantly reduces line twist and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.
