Overview
This Shimano Aquatip 7' 4-8kg 2-Piece + Shimano Baitrunner 4000OC combo is an ideal setup for stray-lining, live-baiting, and coastal bait fishing from a boat, wharf, or the rocks. The 7-foot, 4-8kg rod offers a perfect balance, being forgiving enough to absorb the sudden lunges of powerful inshore fish, yet sensitive enough in the tip to detect subtle bites before the fish realises it is hooked.
- Shimano Baitrunner System: This innovative secondary lever system allows fish to take live or dead bait and swim away completely friction-free without feeling any rod resistance. Turning the handle instantly engages the primary front drag for a solid hook-set and precise control.
- XT-7 Composite Material Construction: Engineered for exceptional durability, designed to endure the rigours of harsh inshore and offshore saltwater conditions, ensuring consistent performance.
- Propulsion Line Management System: Features a specially designed spool lip that provides longer casting distances while preventing backlashes and wind knots.
- Varispeed Oscillation: Creates an even and consistent line lay on the spool, crucial for optimal casting performance and managing various line types, including braided lines.
- Fluid Drive 2 Gearing: Enhances the efficiency and smoothness of the retrieve, providing more power and reducing friction under load.
- Dyna Balance: Eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counterbalancing the rotor, resulting in increased sensitivity and a smoother operation.
- Super Stopper 2: Utilises a one-way roller bearing to eliminate back-play, providing instant hook-setting power.
- Main Drag System: Delivers smooth and consistent pressure, essential for tiring out strong fish effectively.
- Aquatip Rod Construction: Built using a fibreglass-integrated hollow blank with a solid glass tip, providing durability that can withstand knocks on boat gunwales or rocky ledges, unlike more brittle graphite rods.
- Two-Piece Design: Splits into 2 pieces for easy transport and storage.
- Durable Grips: Features robust EVA grips for comfortable and secure handling.
- Corrosion-Resistant Guides: Equipped with Zirconia guides for smooth line flow and enhanced durability in saltwater environments.
