Shimano Thunnus Spinning Reels

For anglers looking for a larger-capacity reel that fishes live bait with ease, the new Thunnus spinning reels have an aluminum body and rotor to provide maximum strength and smoothness to handle any saltwater fishing scene. On the Thunnus reels, Shimano's patented Baitrunner feature acts as a secondary drag system that allows an angler to feed out line in a tension-controlled free spool with the bail closed. The Thunnus reels also feature a waterproof drag system that keeps out saltwater and other debris. Shimano's Fluidrive gear cutting process provides smoothness and power while retrieving; and Super Stopper II, a Shimano designed one-way roller bearing eliminates all handle backplay for solid hook-sets. A titanium-coated Power Roller helps reduce line twist, and each reel includes a large-capacity aluminum spool.
