The Shimano Baitrunner is the original free-spool spinning reel, designed for live bait and cut bait fishing where letting a fish run with the bait before setting the hook is critical. The secondary drag system allows controlled free-spool so fish can take the bait naturally, then a simple flip of the bail engages the primary drag for the hook set. A must-have for kite fishing, live baiting, and bottom fishing applications.
