Shimano Big Baitrunner XTB LC Reel 14000

Shimano Big Baitrunner XTB LC Reel

The Shimano Baitrunner XTB LC is a serious long range freespool reel, built for carp anglers who want casting distance, cranking power and the trusted Shimano Baitrunner system.

The Big Baitrunner has earned legendary status over the years, and this latest XTB LC version keeps that reputation going with a stealthy black body, oversized long cast spool and Shimano’s famous freespool facility. It is ideal for long range carp fishing, larger venues and anglers needing a reel with plenty of power and line capacity.

Inside the body you get Shimano’s HAGANE Gear and X SHIP technology, giving the reel smooth, powerful rotation with plenty of torque when playing hard fighting carp. The large aluminium AR C spool, combined with slow oscillation and Aero Wrap line lay, helps deliver excellent casting performance and tidy line lay.

This reel is a great match for 12ft or 13ft carp rods, especially rods with an Intensity style action where distance and power are needed. Line reducers are also included, making it easier to manage line capacity when you do not need the full amount of line on the spool.
