Shimano Baitrunner ST-RB 6000 and 10000, great freshwater reels.
The Baitrunner system from Shimano is one of the easiest to use on the market, which has made it a favourite for carp anglers worldwide, whether they are lifelong carp fishing fanatics or newcomers to the sport. The ST RB is no different.
The Shimano Baitrunner ST RB is manufactured from XT7 carbon which creates a strong and rigid housing for the reel’s mechanisms, ensuring that it can stand up to intensive use over an extended period of time.
The ST Rb reel boasts a uniquely designed spool with an angled spool lip which has been proven to prevent backlash and wind knots when you’re casting with a braided mainline. This also helps all line types to peel from the reel in small coils, which aids with accurate distance casting.
The Power Roller feature also helps to eliminate the risk of line twist, whether you’re fishing with a braided mainline or a monofilament line, and this really comes into play when you’re fishing with a line on the thinnest end of the spectrum.
The Shimano Baitrunner ST RB is also fitted with the brand’s Varispeed line lay technology which is a dual gear system – one oval and one square. This ensures that you experience parallel line lay each time you spool up.
The Baitrunner reel’s balanced double handle is fitted with Super Stopper II, which eliminates rearward back play when the reel is set in anti-reverse. DynaBalance removes reel wobble on the retrieve, too, and it ensures that all the power you push through your handle is directed into the gearing.
