BAITRUNNER MINIMAL

FRICTION

M_17 BIG BAITRUNNER LC 14000XTB

• A large AR-C spool system with Slow oscillation in combination with the Aero Wrap II line lay system ensures maximum distance casting performance • X-SHIP system for a smooth power transfer and stability of the gears thanks to the two-point support of the pinion gear by ball bearings • The gears have been redesigned to minimise friction and increase power transfer from the long aluminum handle to the rotor. This delivers more torque and winding power making fish playing easier and delivering more control • Available in two sizes: the big size is perfect for the larger carp waters whilst the medium version is the ideal choice for medium sized waters where casting distance is not the most important requirement
