Reel Baitrunner X-Aero FB 4000

The Baitrunner X-Aero 4000 is the top-of-the-range "compact" Baitrunner reel from Shimano, designed for specialist feeder anglers and competitors who want a disengageable system.The Baitrunner X-Aero 4000 is very popular. If you're looking for a reel to use for light carp fishing or competitive feeder fishing, the 4000 size is the perfect choice for carp fishing. The famous Shimano disengageable reel, easy to use, is an advantage when fishing at feeder, especially for carp and barbel, when bites are often sudden and very violent. Once engaged, the spool gives line with a minimum of resistance until you pick up the rod and turn the handle, which instantly engage the front drag and allows you to continue the fight.Although relatively small in size, the Baitrunner X-Aero 4000 is remarkably powerful and over the years has caught many exceptionally large specimens. The X-SHIP gear provides smooth, efficient reeling under pressure. Combined with the high-torque 4.8:1 gear ratio and S A-RB bearings, it produces impressive winding power. The large-diameter AR-C spool enhances casting performance and allows you to use large-diameter mono lines without difficulty, although it's also perfectly suited to finer braids.You can combine the X-Aero 4000 with a wide range of Shimano rods for specimen, specialist and feeder fishing. For small carp and stalking, choose shorter or lighter Tribal rods. For barbel fishing, combine the reel with one of the specimen or feeder rods. For carp and tench fishing, choose one of the medium or heavy feeder Aero rods.
