The original Big Baitrunner LC had an unsurpassed reputation as the definitive ‘Big Pit’ reel. In fact it started the trend for big reels over 15 years ago. Its replacement, the sleek, modern, XT-A LC, is set to enhance the reputation further.

Powerful, understated and full of the best Shimano technical innovation, the new Big Baitrunner features AR-C spool with slow oscillation Aerowrap II line lay. This combination ensures maximum distance casting performance.

Internally all ball bearings are shielded A-RB for increased durability and the gears have been redesigned to minimize friction and increase power transfer from the long aluminium handle to the rotor.

The result is the ultimate long range carp and specimen reel.
