Shimano Baitrunner 12000FD
Item BTR12000FD
Please Select Sizing Option:
A simple flip of the lever to `BaitRunner® On` activates a secondary drag that puts this reel in a tension-controlled free spool. This allows you to fish with the bail closed and still let the bait swim freely. To activate the primary drag when you're fighting fish, just rotate the handle, and the BaitRunner lever will automatically flip to the `Drag On` position. Features Super Stopper II™ anti-reverse and Dynabalance® to eliminate wobble on the retrieve.
