Shimano Baitrunner 5000 GTEC

With its retro look, old school black graphite cosmetics - the new Aero GTE-C hails a welcome return to the fold of this legendary Baitrunner model. Now upgraded with a lightweight double handle, cold forged anodised spools and a micro click multi disc rear drag for flawless Baitrunner and fish playing capabilities. The gear ratio has been tweaked from 4.5:1 up to a 4.6:1 ratio developing more line retrieval per crank.

On top of this, there is a 10000 version for long range work and larger diameter mainlines. All the usual attributes are retained in the GTE-C family including Super Stopper II, Dyna Balance, Aero Wrap and 2 speed oscillation making this one of this year's must have carp reels at an affordable price.
