Product Description
The Shimano Baitrunner D 12000 spinning reel delivers proven live-bait performance with modern refinements for saltwater and heavy-duty applications. Built on a lightweight graphite frame and sideplate, it features Shimano's Propulsion Line Management System for smoother casts and reduced tangles, a 4.4:1 gear ratio with powerful retrieve, and a machined aluminum handle for durability. Inside, Dartainium II (Cross Carbon) drag washers provide smooth, consistent pressure up to 25 lb of max drag, while Super Stopper anti‑reverse, Dyna‑Balance, and a Floating Shaft enhance control and feel. Rated for mono, fluorocarbon, and braid, the Baitrunner D 12000 is designed to handle big baits and bigger fish.
