SHIMANO BAITRUNNER XTB-LC
The Baitrunner XTB-LC is a legendary long-range carp reel that combines the classic Shimano Baitrunner free spool system with Big Pit level casting capabilities. It's a reel designed for anglers who regularly cast long distances and demand maximum reliability when fighting large fish.
For over 25 years, the name "Big Baitrunner" has been synonymous with power and distance in carp fishing. This latest version combines modern Shimano technologies with a proven construction, ensuring long and accurate casts, as well as a large power reserve when playing fish. It pairs perfectly with 12 ft or 13 ft carp rods, especially those of the distance type.
Two sizes are available for different fishing situations. The Big size is intended for extreme distances in large waters, while the Medium version offers better balance and is an excellent choice for medium distances or more compact carp fishing spots.
