Bring or send in an old baitrunner/freespool type reel, of any make, working or not, and receive a £25.00 discount off the price of a brand new Baitrunner XT 6000, 8000 or 10000 RA.

Your old reel will then be reconditioned, or recycled, and the proceeds given to the two charities.

In classic black with an XT7 spool finished in silver, the ST models from Shimano are packed with far more advanced features than you’d reasonably expect to find on a Baitrunner at this price point.

Line lay is good thanks to Varispeed oscillation which involves an oval and a square gear, computer engineered to interact perfectly. Incorporating a gutsy 4.6:1 retrieve, double handle and the equivalent of 5 ball bearings, the ST is available in both 6000 and 10000 models.

If you’re looking for a quality entry-level free spool reel, look no further than the new Baitrunner ST.

Shimano Ultegra 5500 XTB (Baitrunner Spool)
The little big pit reel with massive big pit attitude. Answering the prayers of not just carpers alone, the 5500 XT-B is also ideal for Surf, Pike, Barbel, Zander and Salmon fishing. Even long range feeder anglers will have their heads turned and rods soon fitted with this reel. Featuring an incredibly lightweight biomechanical handle, Baitrunner Spool System II, and 2-Speed Oscillation plus Aero Wrap for perfect line lay and smooth clutch operation. A long range casters dream, and with the addition of a new cold forged AR-C spool and 4 Shielded A-RB + 1 Roller Bearing performance, it just gets better. AR-C spool technology provides an angled front spool lip, which produces reduced diameter coils on the cast, vastly reducing energy lost through larger coils of line entering the guides. Less friction means more energy is retained from the initial casting force which makes longer casts for less effort. With over a metre of line retrieve per crank of the handle, it does not take long to retrieve your line with the extra distance this reel is capable of. 1 spare aluminium AR-C spool is supplied as standard.

Shimano's Super GT reels have earned a strong following. The new four-strong GT-RC family can only enhance and advance this reputation through many performance improvements contained within the 1500, 2500, 3000S and 4000 models – the first three bearing our new shallow spool with XT-7 spare spool as standard. External restyling of XT-7 body and rotor provides the perfect finish to precision engineering with Zinc Diecast gear, Slow Speed Oscillation and Super Stopper ll, AR-C Spool plus Maintenance Port facility. Double handles figure on all four models.

At this price, you can't buy better! The superb design of the Catana RA is matched only by its' fantastic features. 2 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing, in combination with 3D CAD-CAM designed gears give a smoothness that you usually find on much more expensive reels. A strong aluminium spool comes as standard, along with an additional extra light XT7 graphite spool. The progressive multi-disk rear drag can be adjusted over a wide range of settings for very different uses, from light match fishing to heavy spinning. Dyna Balance for exceptional smoothness and performance and Super Stopper II for instant hook setting complete the features of this superb reel.
