LONG DISTANCE BAITRUNNER REEL CARP FISHING BIGRUNNER-5 5000 LC

Technical information

- Capacity: 645 m/ 0.25 mm - 450 m/ 0.30 mm - 330 m/ 0.35 mm

- Weight: 575 gr

- Graphite body and rotor

- Forged aluminium spool

- Line retrieval: cross-wound

- Precise front drag with 8 kg (17.6 lbs) casting weight.

- Ratio: 4.8:1

- LINE RETRIEVE PER CRANK: 79 cm

- It consists of three ball bearings + one needle bearing. The latter acts as an infinite handle backstop, eliminating back-spooling.

- The reel is left- or right hand wind.

What do line retrieve per crank and ratio mean?

The reel's line retrieve per crank (TMV) corresponds to the average length in centimetres of line stored for a revolution.

The Long Distance Baitrunner has a line retrieval per crank turn (TMV) of 79 cm. For example, if you are fishing at 100 m, you will need to turn the crank 126 times.



A reel ratio corresponds to the number of times the spool turns when you turn the crank. Example: For a ratio of 5.8:1, the spool spins 5.8 times per crank

Drag rating

When battling a carp, the fish exerts a tension force on the reel, which should be able to resist while remaining reliable. Drag power is referred to in kg.

The Long Distance Baitrunner has a casting weight of 8 kg, represented by the maximum force extended on the crank, which is more than sufficient for combat with the largest specimens.

For example, in an extensive combat during which you need to exert drag on the fish, the necessary resistance rarely exceeds 2.

What is a baitrunner reel?

The baitrunner reel has 2 drags.

- The front drag. This is the drag that is used during combat. It self-activates during combat with a fish as soon as you start to reel in. It allows you to control the tension power exerted by the fish at the end of the line.

- The second drag is located at the back of your reel. It is activated using the switch on the back. The baitrunner drag is used to regulate drag tension when the rod is positioned on the rod pod.

What's the benefit of a baitrunner reel?

A baitrunner reel allows you to regulate the drag between the drag at the start and the drag required during combat. You can move between one and the other very quickly with the first crank turn.



You are therefore able to anticipate by regulating the drag rate for combat before the carp sets off. However, the baitrunner reel combined with the front drag increases the overall weight of your reel.
