Shimano Baitrunner 4000D Spinning Reel
Shimano Baitrunner 4000D Spinning Reel
The Most Impressive Baitrunner New Zealand Has Ever Seen
Built with Kiwi anglers in mind, the Shimano Baitrunner 4000D is the pinnacle of Shimano’s baitrunner technology—compact, rugged, and exceptionally smooth. Designed for straylining for Snapper, livebaiting for Kingfish, or casting baits into a berley trail, this reel combines precision engineering with real-world toughness to take on New Zealand's toughest saltwater species.
At the heart of the Baitrunner 4000D is Shimano’s legendary secondary drag system, allowing fish to run freely with minimal resistance until you’re ready to engage the main drag—giving you complete control when it matters most. It's compact yet incredibly durable, with the power and line capacity to match its larger counterparts.

-
Baitrunner Dual Drag System – Controlled free-spool lets fish run naturally before engaging the main drag with a simple flick or crank
-
Graphite Frame & Sideplate – Lightweight and corrosion-resistant
