Shimano Medium Baitrunner Ci4+ LC 5500 XTB Reel
The Big (14000 spool) and Medium (5500 spool) Shimano Baitrunner CI4+ XT-B reels are replacing the old baitrunner XT-A series. The Shimano Baitrunner Ci4+ LC reels come with a big list of features, containing Hagane Gearing, X-SHIP, Hi Speed Drag, X Protect, CI4+ body and rotor and of course the Baitrunner system for free spool properties.
This reel is most popular for carp fishing (specimen carp) all over Europe. The Shimano Baitrunner system is ideal in use when the angler is fising on the bottom with lead and he needs the freespool facilities of Baitrunner.
