Shimano Thunnus C14 6000 Baitrunner Reel

The Shimano Thunnus C14 6000 Baitrunner Reel is a larger, more powerful version of the Thunnus C14 series, designed for anglers targeting big saltwater species like tuna, marlin, and larger snapper. It combines Shimano’s advanced technologies with the versatility of the Baitrunner system, which is ideal for live-bait fishing.

Key Features of the Shimano Thunnus C14 6000 Baitrunner Reel:

• C14+ Carbon Body: The lightweight, corrosion-resistant C14+ carbon construction ensures that the reel remains both durable and lightweight, offering better strength and rigidity than traditional materials. This is especially important for fighting larger fish in challenging saltwater environments.
• Baitrunner System: The reel’s Baitrunner feature allows the spool to freely spin when the fish takes the bait, allowing for more natural movement of the bait. Once a fish picks up the bait and starts to run, flipping the lever quickly engages the main drag for a seamless transition from free spool to drag.
• X-Ship Technology: Shimano's X-Ship system ensures smoother and more efficient gear meshing, which provides better power transmission and a more consistent retrieve under load. It enhances the reel’s overall performance, especially during long fights with larger fish.
• Cold Forged Aluminum Spool: The spool is crafted from cold-forged aluminum, ensuring strength and durability for heavy-duty use, especially during high-stress situations when targeting larger species.
• S-ARB (Shielded Anti-Rust Bearings): These corrosion-resistant bearings ensure a smooth and long-lasting operation, even in the harshest saltwater conditions.
• Aero Wrap II Line Lay: This technology helps lay the line evenly across the spool, reducing line twists, tangles, and improving casting distance and accuracy.
• Powerful Drag System: The Thunnus C14 6000 has a robust drag system, delivering smooth and consistent pressure, which is crucial when battling large fish that make powerful runs.
• Lightweight Design: Despite its size, the Thunnus C14 6000 is designed to be lightweight, reducing angler fatigue during long fishing trips.
