Product Description
The Shimano Baitrunner has been a classic reel for over 20 years now and the DL series offer a more compact design suited for a plethora of bait fishing applications.
The DL series comes in two sizes, the 2500 and 4000 model. Each comes with a cold forged spool, an infinite anti reverse and of course the original baitrunner feature.
The Baitrunner DL range was designed to take advantage of key Shimano technologies while being offered at the right price.
Shimano Baitrunner DL 2500FB Spin Reel Features:
Super Stopper 2 Anti-Reverse System eliminates back-play and provides you with instant hook-setting power
Oversized Power Roller reduces twist from casting and retrieving
Propulsion Line Management System so your reel can cope with using braided lines and extra casting distance
Dyna Balance Anti Wobble System to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations in the reel
Varispeed Oscillation System to make sure you get perfect line lay with Power Pro and other braided lines
Cold Forged Aluminium Spool for increased strength and durability over die-cast aluminium or graphite spools
Spare Spool!

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.
Varispeed
Normal oscillation systems use a constant rotation of the oscillation gear that, when translated to the cam, provides an inconsistent spool speed. This results in line lay that stacks at either end of the spool. By using an oval oscillation gear, Shimano is able to alter the speed of the oscillation cam to provide a consistent spool speed. This results in an even line lay that provides excellent castability and manageability.
