Shimano's Baitrunner® has stood the test of time. Not many reels last for 23 years. Not that there wasn't room for improvement with a modern, compact design, graphite frame and sideplate, and cold-forged aluminum spool. The Propulsion Line Management System, Varispeed® Oscillation, S-concept rotor and arm cam makes casting a dream. Dartainium® II Drag washers and waterproof drag are silky smooth. New smaller size for freshwater and inshore fishing.
