This outstanding casting performance is achieved by the use of an oversized Aero Concept spool which is noticeably larger in diameter than a normal sized spool. The Baitrunner XAero also uses Aero Wrap II (Shimanos top line lay system) and 2 speed oscillation for outstanding line management. Another advantage of the large diameter spool is that one turn of the handle retrieves nearly 1 meter of line making retrieving from a distance faster. To Satisfy modern anglers thinking, both the 8000 and 10000 sized reels now have single handles which generate more winding power than the double handle still fitted to the smaller 6000 model. A line guard has also been integrated to prevent going behind the oversized spool. The hybrid body of the Baitrunner XAero has a black satin finish and the alloy line clip has been designed to prevent line damage. For more than 20 years the Shimano baitrunner reel has been the most popular specimen reel avaiable, trusted by millions of anglers throughout Europe. Now, with the addition of the Aero Concept spool, a single handle in the larger sizes and a satin black finish, it is set to continue to be the anglers favourite for many years. Baitrunner XAero spools are up to 30% larger in circumference. This improves casting distance and drag performance. Baitrunner ZAero is a major leap forward in free spool evolution.
