These reels are widely known as ‘USA Baitrunners’ and the four new BTR D reels, 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12000 models, have achieved the near impossible by updating and upgrading a true ‘old school’ classic.
New colours, design and enhanced performance are sure to spark further waves of worldwide acclaim. They have enough power to use for saltwater vertical jigging as well as more traditional freshwater specimen tasks. They feature XT-7 body and rotor, one piece bail, cold forged alu spool and gear, waterproof drag, shielded AR-B, maintenance port and single machined alu handle.
An improved classic? You’d better believe it!
