Shimano Baitrunner 12000OC Spinning Reel
Legendary Power Meets Modern Innovation
The Shimano Baitrunner 12000OC carries on the legendary legacy of Shimano's Baitrunner series—trusted by Kiwi fishos for generations—and takes it to the next level. Whether you're stray-lining big baits for Snapper or live-baiting for Kingfish off the rocks or boat, this reel has the muscle, versatility, and technology to get the job done.
Now featuring an impressive 12kg of maximum drag, the 12000OC combines brute strength with smooth, controlled performance. It incorporates a host of Shimano’s most trusted technologies, including Fluidrive II for efficient power transfer, Propulsion Line Management for long, tangle-free casts, and Dyna-Balance for ultra-smooth retrieves. Built to handle everything from shallow reefs to deeper offshore applications, this reel is a must-have in every saltwater angler’s arsenal.
