SHIMANO BAITRUNNER OC
Discover the Shimano OC Baitrunner series, a testament to decades of innovation and success in Australian waters. Born from the original freespool concept conceptualized on these shores, the Baitrunner has earned its place as an icon among spin reels.
Crafted for versatility and performance, the OC model incorporates cutting-edge features tailored to meet the demands of Australian anglers. A robust machined handle ensures durability and provides the power needed for battling tough fish. An innovative replaceable spool clicker adds practicality, offering audible feedback essential for bite detection and line management.
Enhanced with Varispeed Oscillation, the OC ensures precise line lay, especially when using braided lines like Power Pro, optimizing casting distance and reducing line twist. Shimano's Propulsion Line Management System further enhances casting performance by minimizing friction and maximizing casting distance.
The BaitRunner lever is strategically designed to prevent accidental gear changes, promoting seamless transitions between freespool and drag modes with a simple movement towards the body. With 3 SA-RB bearings and an anti-reverse bearing, the OC reel guarantees smooth operation and durability even in saltwater environments.
Whether fishing in estuaries, from rocks, or out in the open sea, the Shimano OC Baitrunner series exemplifies reliability, functionality, and innovation, setting the standard for spin reels in Australian fishing.

PRODUCT TECHNOLOGIES:
ARC SPOOL
Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.
S ARB
Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt, or dust.
