Designed for anglers who want all the reliability, durability, and quality of unrivalled ShimanoBaitrunner technology, but who don’t want to pay the price tag, the Shimano Baitrunner ST RB is a perfect choice. One final point before I jump into some of the best Shimano Baitrunner Reels: it’s worth understanding how they label their reels to avoid confusion when purchasing. The Shimano Baitrunner ST RB comes in two sizes: 6000 and 10000. The smaller 6000 is the perfect reel for anglers who enjoy targeting medium sized carp, barbel, and tench. It also performs excellently for predator fishingfor pike and zander. Once hooked, the fish is able to freely run with your line without pulling the rod from your rod pod if you happen to be away from your rods. The Shimano Baitrunner ST RB is manufactured from XT7 carbon which creates a strong and rigid housing for the reel’s mechanisms, ensuring that it can stand up to intensive use over an extended period of time.

Shimano Baitrunner ST 10000 RB Reel. For anglers wanting reliable Shimano Baitrunner technology on a small budget, the new Baitrunner ST-RB is the natural choice. Understated graphics, in keeping with the latest trends in carp fishing, a traditional easy-to-use rear Baitrunner system, balanced double handle, aluminium AR-C spool and Varispeed line lay all combine to produce an affordable reel with lots of credibility. The 6000 size makes a great specimen and specialist fishing reel suitable for medium sized carp, barbel, tench and predator bait fishing for pike and zander, whilst the larger 10000 size is more suitable for larger fish from both large and small waters alike. Both reels have a powerful 4.6:1 gear ratio which delivers plenty of power when playing large fish. The 10000ST RB is Shimano's entry-level reel in the 10000-size range, but don't think for one minute that because the price is lower than usual for Shimano reels you'll experience a slump in quality. The Baitrunner ST is the perfect reel for inexperienced carp anglers. The Baitrunner freespool mechanism is simple to use and disengages automatically with a turn of the handle, providing trouble and accident free operation. And whilst the Baitrunner ST doesn’t come with a large price tag, you do still get over 30 years of Baitrunner experience and Shimano’s carp fishing credibility. It’s a reel that will offer years of enjoyment and is the reel than some of today’s carping superstars started out on. The Baitrunner ST is the entry level Baitrunner that offers remarkable value. With the easy to use freespool Baitrunner mechanism, and Shimano’s trusted engineering, it is the perfect reel for inexperienced and young carp anglers alike. The Power Roller feature also helps to eliminate the risk of line twist, whether you’re fishing with a braided mainline or a monofilament line, and this really comes into play when you’re fishing with a line on the thinnest end of the spectrum.The Shimano Baitrunner ST RB is also fitted with the brand’s Varispeed line lay technology which is a dual gear system – one oval and one square. This ensures that you experience parallel line lay each time you spool up. Another feature of the reel which boasts improvement from the RA model is the new hybrid body. This is not only lighter in weight but it is also significantly more durable than the material used in the original model. Having a strong and tension resistant reel body is vital to the longevity of the reels performance and this is one top end reel which can last the distance on the bank. This reel comes with a spare cold forged aluminium spool as standard – a material that is used in the main spool, too, because of its strength and durability. It is fitted with four shielded stainless steel bearings as well as one additional roller bearing. This ensures that the Shimano Baitrunner XT RB is an exceptionally smooth operating reel and it can more than comfortably withstand the strains and tensions of a large and hard fighting carp. The Baitrunner system from Shimano is one of the easiest to use on the market, which has made it a favourite for carp anglers worldwide, whether they are lifelong carp fishingfanatics or newcomers to the sport. The ST RB is no different. SHIMANO Baitrunner ST OR DL Spare Double Handle for 6000 or 10000 (spare handle only does not include reel or spool etc etc) Baitrunner was a breakthrough in big fish angling a feature that has proved so beneficial that it has become a standard on big fish reels. Baitrunner is a lever located on the rear of the reel that allows the reel to be set so that line is released in controlled freespool.
