Shimano BAITRUNNER ST FB

Baitrunner ST FB – Entry Level Performance and Reliability

The Baitrunner ST FB is the entry level ‘mini’ 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 feeder or specialist angler alike.

Ideal for Beginners and Versatile Use

The Baitrunner ST FB is the perfect reel for inexperienced feeder anglers, or anglers who want a cost-effective small Baitrunner reel for larger species. 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 Shimano Baitrunner experience.

Design and Construction

With a satin black coloured XT-7 body and rotor, the Baitrunner ST FB certainly looks the part and blends perfectly with most feeder and specialist rods. The advanced Varispeed line lay produces excellent line lay which makes casting easier and more accurate, especially on small waters where you might be casting next to islands.

Sizes and Application

The 2500 size is perfect for feeder and bomb fishing on small waters when fishing for carp or other hard-fighting fish, whilst the 4000 size offers more versatility and power, making it suitable for all general, pleasure and specialist fishing.
