BUILT TOUGH FOR LARGER SALTWATER SPECIES, THE THUNNUS RANGE FIELDS FOUR SIZES FROM 4000 TO 12000, WHICH COVERS EVERY INSHORE AND LIGHT-MEDIUM OFFSHORE APPLICATION IMAGINABLE.
After free-spooling your offering down the water column to your target species, the Baitrunner function is switched on. The spool turns slowly, as a fish is fooled into taking your bait under what seems like near zero tension, you turn the handle and engage the main drag system – hooked up!

THE BAITRUNNER HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GOLD STANDARD IN ROCK FISHING
The OC contains a lot of the features that have made the Shimano Baitrunner a household name in this country, but it also has advanced technologies like Varispeed Oscillation, Fluidrive, Dyna-Balance, Propulsion Line Management to improve operation and casting distance, and a Baitrunner lever that engages when against the body to prevent accidental disengagement.

OFFERING UNRIVALED STRENGTH AND SALTWATER DURABILITY, THE ULTEGRA CI4+ REPRESENTS THE PINNACLE OF SURF CASTING SPIN REELS FROM SHIMANO.
Drawing upon the weight saving advantages of a CI4+ body construction, the cold forged Hagane Gear and X-Ship combine to produce powerful winding performance, while 5+1 SA-RB bearings deliver supreme smoothness. To provide the highest level of saltwater resistance, X-Protect has been incorporated and is proven to guard the reels’ internals from the intrusion of salt and sand. An AR-C spool maximises casting distance, and G Free Body shifts the centre of gravity closer to the rod, whilst Parallel Body achieves perfect rod and reel alignment to avoid line slap during the cast.

THE AERLEX IS A LONG CAST BIG PIT SURF REEL, DESIGNED TO HELP SURF CASTERS ACHIEVE MAXIMUM CASTING RANGE AND HIT DISTANT TARGETS.
The XSB has an additional bearing on the main gear to improve the overall smoothness of rotation, while the handle is machined aluminium to improve its strength. As with all the big pit long cast reels, the Aerlex XSB utilises a worm driven oscillating system (Aerowrap II). This offers a much slower and more consistent line lay, which is essential for clean line release and greater casting distance.
