Shimano Baitrunner OC

Baitrunner OC Power and Value Combined

Built for Strength and Versatility

The Baitrunner OC offers a great combination of value and power. Originally designed for the American saltwater market, this no-nonsense Baitrunner also makes a great big fish freshwater reel for anglers who want additional strength.

Durable and Versatile Performance

Dont be fooled by the OC suffix (Oceanic) of this tough Baitrunner. Although it was originally developed for saltwater bait fishing, it also makes a great freshwater reel for catfish, pike, and carp. With its low price and tough build quality, you really cant go wrong with this trusted model. The attractive black body and silver spool combination is understated and will suit most specimen situations where a freespool set-up is required.

Advanced Construction and Smooth Operation

Constructed from Shimanos XT-7 composite, this reel is lighter than you would expect and is fitted with Shielded A-RB bearings, which are corrosion resistant in saltwater, so you can be sure they will perform perfectly in freshwater. The AR-C spool, with its unique angled spool lip, works in conjunction with Varispeed, Shimanos variable oscillation system, delivering great line lay with both mono and braid.

Reliable Power and Performance

All model sizes have a 4.8:1 gear ratio, which delivers a lot of cranking power, while the powerful front drag system ensures smooth control and performance with any fish, whether in freshwater or at sea.
