The Shimano Baitrunner OC is a bait-fishing focused spinning reel that brings together the heritage of Shimano’s freespool Baitrunner system with modern improvements to performance and durability.

Performance Features
- Baitrunner Freespool System — allows bait to run freely before main drag engagement, enhancing hook-up opportunities.
- AR-C Spool — Shimano’s spool design reduces friction for longer casts and fewer wind knots.
- Varispeed Oscillation — promotes smooth and consistent line lay on the spool.
- Propulsion Line Management System — improves distance and control when casting braided lines.
- Shielded S A-RB Bearings + Anti-Reverse — designed for smoother operation and increased corrosion resistance.
- 10-Year Shimano Australia Warranty — industry-leading warranty support.
With a range of sizes from 4000 (lighter lines and inshore baiting) up to 12000 (heavy surf and offshore baits), the Baitrunner OC lets anglers match reel size to the fishing conditions and target species.
