The Shimano Thunnus CI4 Spinning Reel 4000 is engineered for serious anglers targeting powerful fish in saltwater environments. Combining the renowned Baitrunner system with advanced CI4 body construction, this reel offers exceptional performance for straylining, live baiting, and casting for species like snapper and kingfish.
Key Technologies:
- Propulsion Line Management System: Engineered to reduce line twist and casting knots, promoting longer, more accurate casts.
- Power Roller: Designed to minimise line twist during both casting and retrieving, ensuring optimal line lay on the spool.
- Paladin Gearing: Features a cold-forged aluminium drive gear and hardened brass pinion gear, enhancing durability and maintaining smooth performance throughout the reel's life.
- CI4 Body Material: Carbon Interfusion 4 is a graphite body material reinforced with carbon fibres, built to withstand the rigorous demands of saltwater fishing while keeping the reel lightweight.
- Varispeed: An oval-shaped oscillating gear provides smooth rotation and consistent rotor speed, resulting in excellent line lay.
