Baitrunner XT-A LC
Powerful and full of the best Shimano technical innovation, the Big
Baitrunner features a large AR-C spool with slow oscillation Aero Wrap
II line lay. This combination ensures maximum distance casting
performance. Internally all 5 ball bearings are shielded A-RB for
increased durability and the gears have been redesigned to minimise
friction and increase power transfer from the long aluminium handle to
the rotor. This delivers more torque and winding power making fish
playing easier and delivering more control. Available in two sizes, the
Big size, with its awesome casting performance is perfect for the
largest carp waters, whilst the smaller Medium version is the ideal
choice for medium sized waters where casting distance isn't the most
important requirement.
