Shimano Baitrunner D 4000
The Baitrunner D has enough power to take on even the biggest fish. Popular with big-game anglers worldwide, this reel is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater fishing and has become a firm favourite amongst catfish and predator anglers across Europe. The Baitrunner D, with its striking, deep-set golden aluminium spool, is unmistakable. If you’re looking for durability and performance in a mid-range price bracket, this could be the reel for you. The Baitrunner D is popular with predator anglers, particularly those targeting large catfish, but also has the power to take on feisty saltwater predators.
The various sizes and versatile performance make the Baitrunner D a safe choice when fishing for a wide range of species, from carp and pike to catfish – with this reel, you can take on any opponent. The Baitrunner D’s power comes from its shielded A-RB ball bearings, milled aluminium handle and high-torque gear ratio. Built to Shimano’s high standards, it inspires confidence and delivers indestructible power. For anglers who prefer a secure grip, the larger models are equipped with ergonomic handle knobs taken from the sea reel range, whilst there are also two medium-sized (6000, 8000) ‘EU’ models with ‘T’-shaped knobs.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
