SHIMANO BAITRUNNER 6000D 4.8:1 FRONT DRAG SPINNING REEL

Shimano Baitrunner 6000D Spinning Reel – 4.8:1 Gear Ratio | Front Drag

Smooth drag. Legendary reliability. Live bait performance redefined.

The Shimano Baitrunner 6000D is engineered for serious saltwater and freshwater anglers who demand reliability, power, and finesse in one battle-ready reel. Featuring Shimano’s patented Baitrunner system, this reel allows fish to take the bait with zero resistance before engaging the main drag with a simple turn of the handle—making it the ultimate choice for live bait fishing.


With a durable 4.8:1 gear ratio, smooth front drag system, and corrosion-resistant build, the Baitrunner 6000D offers excellent torque and control over hard-pulling species like striped bass, catfish, snapper, and even school-size tuna. Whether you’re surfcasting or fishing from a boat, this reel delivers unmatched performance and reliability.
