Shimano Thunnus CI4

Live-baiting the stones for Longtail Tuna or Spaniards offshore, the new, robust CI4 build of the Thunnus is a baitrunner afficionado's dream.

Built for larger saltwater fish species the range fields four sizes from 4000 to 12000 which covers every inshore and light-medium offshore application imaginable. After freespooning your offering down the water column to your target species, the baitrunner function is switched on. The spool turns slowly, as a fish is fooled to take the bait under what seems like near zero tension, turn the handle and engage the main drag system -- you're on!

Featrures include lightweight, metalic blue CI4 body and rotor, Propulsion Line Management System, Power Roller II, One-Piece Bail, aluminium spool, baitrunner function and screw-in handle assembly with Septon grip.

  • Septon Handle Grips
