The Shimano Baitrunner OC Reels are perfect for the flesh bait and live bait anglers. The famous Shimano Baitrunner system allows fish to take a bait with virtually no resistance. Without being spooked, the fish takes the bait aggressively and runs.
With a turn of the handle, the OC Baitrunner system transfers to the pre-set drag system, and the angler can strike. With the OC Baitrunner system, more strikes become hook-ups.
The reel sizes cover a wide range of fishing applications. The 4000 has the inshore grounds nailed, including the beach. Ideal for live worms and nippers, you'll be chasing everything from big bream to big flathead.
A 6000 OC is perfect for the beach and lighter rock fishing applications. It has all the power required for casting long for tailor, bonito and big Aussie salmon. Bump up to the 8000, and you can live bait for mulloway and hit the reef for some extra-large snapper.
The 12000 OC will serve you well live baiting the beach and rock walls for huge mulloway. It will be great for bait fishing the bottom outside the heads, as well as chasing the like of some species of Tuna. Rock anglers will like it for tackling the stalwart drummer and groper, kingfish and mackerel with live baits.
Loaded with high-grade Shimano technologies, the Shimano Baitrunner OC Reels for sale here at the fishing tackle shop delivers performance at an accessible price point. If you fish live, fish Shimano Baitrunner OC Reels.

The business as a whole started back in 2001 as Fishing Aqua Pet, a small retail Fishing Tackle, Aquarium and Pet store run by proprietor Ben Czulowski
In 2006 the pet and aquarium side of the business was dissolved and we focused just on the Fishing / Water sport side of the business renaming our trading name to Ocean Storm Fishing Tackle.
2005-2006 were slow beginnings online as I created my online store by myself from scratch. I received a small amount of orders per week but in 2007 saw our business explode to a new level after we passed the first few initial years of teething. I also expanded our product range to several thousand products most of which are stocked items ready to ship.
In 2012 I opened a massive warehouse store and have expanded our online fishing store into an online camping store also as well as offering for sale boating bits, soft surfboards and a whole lot more.
Today Ocean Storm has grown to the level of processing tens of thousands of orders a year and have built up a huge level of trust and confidence with our customers.
