Questions about SHIMANO Baitrunner OC Spinning Reels

Is it waterproof

Answer: I don't know if it's waterproof was a gift to my husband who uses it all the time he goes fishing. He on a fishing trip so I can't ask him. He took this reel and the 8000oc shimano too

Answer: If your asking if it is sealed, no. If your asking if you can get it wet, yes. But water can get inside reel. I use mine for surf fishing and they get wet every time I use them. I rinse them with fresh water after every use and they work as well as the day I bought them

Answer: No, this reel is not made to be submerged.

What would be a good size for overall ocean fishing off of the California coast.

Answer:

Answer: The 6000 OC, would be a good one start with. Great reel. Happy fishing.

Answer: Sure. Feel free to call us at (800) 372-3474 if you have any specific questions.

Answer: The 6000 would be my choice. The 4000 doesn't have the spool capacity to hold much 20lb+ line.

Answer: I got a shark off hueneme with the 12000. Extremely happy with it's performance. Will get another soon.

What Size is this?

How many yards of 30# braid will the spool hold?

Answer: not sure i would use super 8 its thinner and alot more smoother

Is the reel superline ready?

Answer: yes

Answer: Yes it is.

How does the bait runner feature work? Is the drag in from or rear?

Answer: Rear

De cuanto es la line maxima q puedo poner en el carrete

What size would be better suited for carp fishing 4000 or 6000?. I would prefer the 4000 due to the lighter weight, but wondering if this is to small

Answer: 4000 works great form me fishing for Striped Bass up to 50lb. You can also still use it to cast lures with because of its light weight and smaller size.

Answer: Growing up in Pittsburgh I've caught more than a few 20+ lb carp and I think the 4000 should be plenty. It will hold 270 yards of 15lb test PowerPro line so you should be able to haul in a record carp without too much trouble.

Answer: I have both but would use the 4000 on a medium rod. I like the 6000 for ocean fishing on a medium heavy rod.

Answer: The 4000 will be just the right size.

Answer: pack it with braid you will be fine. I have caught 30 plus pound salt water fish on it with no problem on 20# braid.

hi what the size of this real

Is the 4000 good for speckled trout

Answer: Yea absolutely, these reels are fantastic. I have 7, ranging from the 4000-8000 and have never had an issue.

Answer: I use mine for striped bass. Recent catch was 18 pound bluefish. Might be overkill for trout

Is a 4000 good for plugging the nj surf? Also is the baitrunner series appropriate for plugging? Thx

Answer: We use the baitrunner for striker fishing. This is an awesome really. My kids and husband love the reels. We have it in three different shimano reels. They also love 12000

Answer: Entirely appropriate for plugging.

Answer: yes

Hi!. I'm interesting to buy the buitrunner 4000 but the picture show 8000. please let me know what fishing reel you have?. Greetings

Answer: Hi, the Photo is a symbol photo and stands for all sizes. If you Order the 4000 size you will get the 4000 not a 8000.

Answer: We have the 4000 and 6000 in stock - The 8000 has not arrived yet.

Answer: Hi, this is for the BTR4000OC.

What is the heavyest pound test of mono can. Youuse on tge 4000

What's the difference between this and the Baitrunner D model? Any chance you'll notice any difference bottom fishing for tautog, sea as,flounder?

Answer: The baitrunner d has stronger internal components and is rated for a higher drag. Using a car analogy. This the OC is like a Chevy and the D is a GMC. Same reel and concept just one is considered a "tougher" reel. I personall have the 4000OC and 8000OC because they were cheaper and I take care of my gear. If you beat up you gear a little more or go after really heavy fish, then go with the D series. I have Conventional reels for monster fish and use my OC for everday fishing.

Answer:

Answer: Without having tried both models it's hard to do a comparison , from the pics I have seen of the D model,it seems to be of a lighter duty reel.I own a few Shimano Baitrunner reels but mine are for use on catching larger game fish such as Blue fish but they will also work just as well for catching Tautog, Flounder, scup, etc. I don't think you will have any problems with whatever model you choose.

Answer: We use the baitrunner for striker fishing. This is an awesome really. My kids and husband love the reels. We have it in three different shimano reels. They also love 12000

Product reviews of SHIMANO Baitrunner OC Spinning Reels

Amazon Customer : Great reel. Smoother than Penn Battle 2 and Fierce ...

Since I got it on Amazon warehouse deals it was a steal. Great reel. Smoother than Penn Battle 2 and Fierce 2 series. Shimano baitrunner is Super to penn live liner and okuma Avenger versions. My only knock is the 4000 size uses felt washers and not carbon fiber ones.

Jose David Aristizabal Gil : Five Stars

Lorene Parrish : Good strong reel for Sandy Hook stripers

Maddij01 : Five Stars

Great fishing reel

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Perfect reel for bait fishing with a medium rod.

Ricky : Great reel for surf fishing

I bought the 4000 model for surf fishing in the Florida panhandle. Caught many bull reds, pampano, lady fish, all with no problems. The bait runner feature works great when rod is placed in a PVC rod holder driven in the sand. I paired the reel with a Tsunami Trophy rod, model TSTSS-702H. For surf fishing, this combo seems to work really well and looks great. For line I use Power Pro Super 8 Slick Fishing Line, 30lb test. I tried other line that was not as smooth and it was super noisy at the guide when reeling. Super 8 slick solved that problem. All in all, a great reel that is my go-to for surf fishing.

DD : Shimono

Great real waiting to catch a whooper

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Perfect reel for bait fishing with a medium rod.

D. Beaty : Excellent I bought three!!!

the baitrunner drag on these is great for trolling when you want to be able to set the pole down. The fish comes and hits the bait and doesn't feel you or your boat in a way that makes him spit the bait. The baitrunner drag goes to work letting out line and making a clicking noise so you can tell you are getting a bite. You then just pick up the pole and turn the handle and whamo the regular heavy drag kicks in and you hook the fish. When you are trolling the baitrunner drag is a much lighter drag that is just strong enough to be able to pull your shiner through the water without letting out line. The Daiwa version of this type of baitruner drag sucks by the way. It does not make enough noise to hear well when it is letting out line from a bite and it can't be set light enough for a bass to not feel the pole before you switch over to the regular drag. So it defeats the whole point of having it. The Baitrunner drag must be light enough to conceal your presence to the fish until you are ready to set the hook. If not then the fish just spits your bait out if its a bass which will spit the bait out as soon as they feel you or your poll pulling back for any length of time.

bargain shopper : Quality product

I have other Shimano reels and they are all fantastic reels. I bought this one as a birthday present for my son so that he can use it for both fresh and saltwater fishing. It's not a heavy duty reel for large fish such as 40 + pound stripers but most of the fishing we do is for fish weighing less than 20 lb.
