Shimano Thunnus 12000 F Ci4 Baitrunner Reel
Built for the Big Battles – Lightweight Power with Versatility
Whether you're straylining for Snapper, livebaiting for Kingfish, or casting poppers into the wash, the Shimano Thunnus 12000 F Ci4 Baitrunner Reel delivers reliable performance and powerful versatility for inshore and light offshore applications. Engineered with Shimano’s advanced CI4 carbon composite body and rotor, it maintains incredible strength while significantly reducing weight—perfect for long days chasing trophy fish without taxing your back.
The Thunnus is equipped with Shimano’s legendary Baitrunner drag system, giving you full control with a secondary drag that allows fish to take the bait before engaging the main drag. Combined with a screw-in handle, ergonomic Septon grip, and Propulsion Line Management System, the result is smooth casting, effortless retrieval, and powerful hook-setting ability when it matters most.
