Shimano Medium Baitrunner 5500 XTB LC Long Cast Reel

Medium Baitrunner XTB Long Cast

The Medium Baitrunners are back and they are fully stocked with the best Shimano technologies. The reels feature a large AR-C spool with slow oscillation in combination with the Aero Wrap II line lay system. This combination ensures maximum distance casting performance. The X-Ship system is present ensuring a smooth power transfer and stability of the gears thanks to the two-point support of the pinion gear by ball bearings.

Internally all 4 ball bearings are shielded A-RB for increased durability. The gears have been redesigned to minimise friction and increase power transfer from the long aluminium handle to the rotor. This delivers more torque and winding power making fish playing easier and delivering more control.

The Medium version is the ideal choice for medium sized waters where casting distance isn't the most important requirement. The Medium Baitrunner will be supplied with line reducers.
