Shimano BTR8000D Fishing ReelBaitrunner D Series

The Shimano Baitrunner spinning reels have earned their reputation as durable and versatile spin fishing tools. The BaitRunner feature is actually a second drag system on the rear of the reel which allows the angler to fish with an adjustable tension free spool with a closed bail, making these reels excel at live bait and chunk fishing. In order to engage the waterproof main front drag, all you need to do is turn the handle or manually flip the Baitrunner lever on the rear of the housing. The Baitrunners feature three ball bearings, aluminum spools, and graphite housings.
 

Shimano redesigned its classic BaitRunner Spinning Reel to now feature the lastest in spinning reel technology with a

modern and compact design. The BTR D series reels are offered in four sizes; the BTR4000D, 6000D, 8000D and 12000D.

More Information about the Shimano Baitrunner BTR D Series Spinning Reels

 

The Shimano BTR Baitrunner is the ‘go to’ spinning reel for live bait fishing situations for over 20 years, the Shimano’s BaitRunner spinning reels feature a secondary drag system to allow baits to swim free with the bail closed.  Shimano has made tremendous advances in spinning reel technology over those years – Propulsion Line Management System, Fluidrive II gearing, Super Stopper anti-reverse to name a few. These new BaitRunners D reels have all of these features and more.  The new BaitRunner D reels have increased the adjustability of the BaitRunner secondary drag system.

 

Proven on other Shimano spinning reels, each BaitRunner D reel features Varispeed oscillation for better line lay, SR one-piece bail wire, a cold-forged aluminum spool, a graphite frames and side plate, Dartanium II drag washers and three shielded A-RB (anti-rust) ball bearings. Shimano went further with our S Concept design features, including S-Rotor, S-Arm Cam, a direct-drive mechanism with thread-in handle attachment, oversized Septon handle grips and a waterproof drag.

All four BaitRunner D reels have 4.8:1 gear ratios. Line capacities range from 240 yards of 8-pound test mono - or 270 yards of 15-pound PowerPro braid - on the BTR4000D; 265 yards of 12-pound test mono - or 210 yards of 50-pound PowerPro - on the BTR 6000D; 250 yards of 17-pound mono – 290 yards of 50-pound PowerPro – on the BTR8000D; while the BTR12000D will handle 350 yards of 16-pound mono – or 310 yards of 65-pound PowerPro.

 

Sorry the B series is no longer available.  It has been discontinued and replaced by the new and improved D Series.
