Shimano Medium Baitrunner Long Cast Reel
In the modern age of angling, the proliferation and promotion of lures might lead you to believe that flesh and live baits are a thing of the past. It’s not true. Flesh baits and live baits are still sitting on the top shelf of preferred baits for most fish. For those of us still firmly locked in this tradition, the Shimano Medium Baitrunner Long Cast Reel is a brilliant option for getting the most out of your flesh bait fishing.
Firstly, the 5500 size is considered general purpose, and in so being, provides you access to huge range of species and locations. With 15kg of drag and a long cast spool holding plenty of line (sold separate), you also have access to pretty big fish.
Secondly, the Baitrunner feature allows you to increase your hook-ups. The fish can run with the bait without being spooked by resistance. With fingertip control, you flick over to let the drag do its work while you set the hooks. It’s perfect for live baits like Poddy Mullet, Worms, Crabs and Nippers.
While it’s not the cheapest reel on the shelf, it sits firmly at an accessible price point. When you consider the list of Shimano technology inclusions, you will agree, the Shimano Medium Baitrunner Long Cast represents outstanding value for money. Check out the list of inclusions below.
All serious anglers should have a mid-sized Baitrunner in their kit, particularly land-based anglers like you, that prefer flesh and live baits. The Shimano Medium Baitrunner Long Cast ticks all of the boxes. Most importantly, you will increase your hook-ups significantly, while enjoying access to a large range of fish species and sizes.
