SHIMANO Reel Baitrunner X-Aero RA

The Shimano Baitrunner X-Aero RA Reel is a testament to innovation and advanced technology in the angling world. By fusing Aero concept technology with the highly sought-after Baitrunner system, Shimano has undoubtedly crafted the ultimate compact big pit reel to cater to the needs of dedicated anglers everywhere.

Exceptional casting performance is achieved through the use of a larger spool diameter than what is traditionally employed. This design choice not only ensures impressive casting distances but also allows for nearly one metre of line retrieval per handle turn. To maintain impeccable line management despite the larger spool, the reel is equipped with Aero Wrap II technology.

In response to anglers desiring a more powerful single-handle option, Shimano has outfitted both the 8000 and 10000 sizes with a single handle. This modification results in significantly increased power, allowing anglers to cast their lines far into the water and confidently pursue larger fish. For those who prefer a dual-handle reel, the 6000 size remains available in this format.

The line clip featured on the Baitrunner X-Aero RA has been meticulously designed to be entirely line-friendly, maximising the amount of line at your disposal. A remarkable gear ratio of 4.6:1 is supported by six shielded AR-B bearings and one roller bearing in the 8000 and 10000 models. The 6000 model boasts an even greater number of bearings, with eight shielded AR-B and the roller bearing, ensuring an incredibly smooth cranking experience.

With the Shimano Baitrunner X-Aero RA Reel, big pit anglers can enjoy the full benefits of Baitrunner technology. This reel is not only a worthy addition to Shimano's impressive lineup, but it also stands as a prime example of how cutting-edge design and engineering can elevate the angling experience.
