Shimano Reel Baitrunner X-Aero FB 4000

Description 

The Baitrunner X-Aero 4000 is SHIMANO's premium 'compact' Baitrunner reel, designed for specialist carp, barbel and match anglers who prefer a free spool reel. If you are looking for a smaller compact reel to use for lightweight and active fishing for carp, deadbait for pike, barbeling or match fishing for carp, the 4000 size is a perfect choice. The famous, easy to use Shimano free spool reels are a reliable partner when fishing with lead, (method) feeder and even float rigs, especially on fish species such as carp, tench and barbel where bites are often sudden out of nowhere and very aggressive. When the freespool function is engaged, the spool releases line with minimal friction until you pick up the rod and turn the crank, which immediately activates the front slip and the fight with the fish can begin. The Baitrunner X-Aero 4000 is relatively small in size but remarkably powerful. X-SHIP delivers an efficient, smooth return under pressure and combines with the powerful 4.8:1 gear ratio and Shielded A-RB bearings, this little powerhouse produces impressive turning power. The large diameter Aero AR-C spool improves casting performance and allows the use of mainline in all diameters - whether using mono or braided mainline. You can combine the X-Aero 4000 with many of the Shimano Barbel, float and feeder rods. Whether it's the lighter and shorter Tribal models, the Purist or Aero rods, you will form a great balanced combo that will give you a lot of fishing pleasure.
