The ocean is like a washing machine. The anchovies are laughing at you from the recesses of the bait tank, standing is an exercise in futility and you see rain on the horizon. While this scene has all the makings of a nightmare, Shimano designed the baitrunner to cope with such an evil situation. The Baitrunner II has the innate flexibility to allow beautiful casts or fly-lining live bait. You can even use the Baitrunner II for big freshwater species. Shimano's power roller, a special line roller, reduces lines twist arising from repeated casting and retrieving up to 50 percent. Fluidrive II brings to Shimano spinning reels the highest tolerances and upmost control in the gear cutting process, meaning added smoothness and increased sensitivity. Fluidrive II features a large master gear polished via a wrapping process, making winding smooth and effortless. Shimano's Dynabalance feature eliminates spinning reel wobble by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. The computer balancing process, similar to car tire balancing, redistributes rotor weight to creates smooth rotation and eliminate vibration. The SuperStopper II one-way roller bearing prevents any backplay in the handle for rock-solid hooksets. Last, but far from least, Shimano's baitrunner lever provides a secondary drag system which allows the reel to feed out line in tension controlled freespool with the bail closed. This feature enables an angler to feed line out and lets the fish take the bait and run while still maintaining line control by having the bail closed. To engage the primary drag and set the hook simply turn the reel handle or flip to the ''Baitrunner Off'' position and the fight is on! For dropping bait back to fish from your boat, working the jetties for stripers and even certain freshwater fishing situations, the Baitrunner II provides the serious angler with an ultimate fish catching advantage.

Excellent high quality and value. I use it for striper bass fishing in the CA delta. I bought the 4500B. Highly recommend it.

Comments about Shimano Shimano Baitrunner 4500B Baitfeeder Reel:

I went with the heavy action and the 4500B for Tarpon fishing in the Tampa area. I've landed some small blacktips (4-5ft) as well and the combo worked nicely. I like the baitrunner feature on the reel and use it all the time when putting out livebait. Overall I'm really pleased with the combo. I have the 3500B with medium action combo as well - only difference I cn tell is the amount of line you pack on. When using powerpro I really don't worry about how much I can spool - if I'm down to monofilament it's time to crank up the boat and chase the fish down anyway.
