Shimano Baitrunner 12000 D Spinning Reel

High-Capacity Versatility for Serious Saltwater Anglers

The Shimano Baitrunner 12000 D is engineered for anglers who demand strength, reliability, and versatility in demanding saltwater environments. Designed with New Zealand’s saltwater fishing styles in mind, it’s ideal for straylining lightly weighted baits, casting from boat or shore, or targeting hard-fighting species like XOS Snapper and Kingfish.

This powerhouse reel boasts massive line capacity, durable construction, and Shimano’s latest baitrunner technology, allowing for natural bait presentation and instant hook engagement. Its cold-forged aluminium spool, sealed waterproof drag, and graphite body with a metallic black finish strike the perfect balance between toughness and usability.
