The Shimano Thunnus CI4 Baitrunner spin reel is expertly engineered for serious anglers targeting powerful fish in diverse saltwater environments. Combining the renowned Baitrunner system with advanced CI4 body construction, this reel delivers exceptional performance for straylining, live baiting, and casting for popular species like snapper and kingfish in New Zealand waters. Its lightweight design, coupled with robust gearing, ensures a smooth, durable, and fatigue-reducing fishing experience, making it a reliable choice for both inshore and medium offshore applications.

• Propulsion Line Management System: Engineered to reduce line twist and casting knots, promoting longer, more accurate casts. This system is crucial for optimal line lay and preventing tangles during active fishing.
• Power Roller: Designed to minimise line twist during both casting and retrieving, ensuring optimal line lay on the spool and contributing to the reel's smooth operation.
• Paladin Gearing: Features a cold-forged aluminium drive gear and hardened brass pinion gear. This advanced gearing system enhances durability and maintains exceptionally smooth performance throughout the reel's life, even under heavy loads.
• CI4 Body Material: Carbon Interfusion 4 is a cutting-edge graphite body material reinforced with carbon fibres. This construction is built to withstand the rigorous demands of saltwater fishing while keeping the reel remarkably lightweight, reducing angler fatigue during long sessions.
• Varispeed: An oval-shaped oscillating gear provides smooth rotation and consistent rotor speed, resulting in excellent line lay on the spool, which is vital for consistent casting and retrieval.
• Drag System: Combines a powerful, smooth front drag with Shimano's renowned Baitrunner rear drag system. This allows fish to take bait under near-zero tension before the main fighting drag is engaged, providing precise control for various fishing techniques.
• Shimano 10 Year Warranty: Provides long-term assurance for your investment, highlighting Shimano's commitment to quality and reliability.

For optimal longevity in saltwater conditions, regular rinsing with fresh water after each use is recommended.
