Available in both front drag (FB) and rear drag (RB) both reels from the DL series use the same outstanding technology that you’d expect from Shimano to devastating effect.

AR-C Line Management System
Cold Forged Aluminium Spool
Spare Spool
Dyna-Balance System
Super Stopper II System
Power Roller
Free Spool System

Precise Rear Drag or Front Drag

The front drag system is available in either 2500 or 4000 sizings making it an incredibly versatile reel that allows you to target predatory species using deadbaits, as well as enabling you to take on hard fighting carp and barbel when feeder fishing.

The rear drag option is available in 6000 and 10000. The 6000 is an ideal reel for tackling smaller lakes and rivers, whereas the 10000 is perfect for using with heavier lines when you really want to punch out those long distances.

Cosmetically, these reels are a dream to look at. In stunning gunmetal grey, these reels would look sleek and smart on any high-end carp rod.

How does the Shimano Technology Work?

Featuring a classic AR-C spool, the Varispeed oscillation ensures that you are able to achieve a faultless line lay each time. The Baitrunner system allows you to enjoy a huge variety of tension settings and enables you to switch between freespool mode and fight mode in a matter of moments. Coming into play when it really counts, the Baitrunner DL’s Super Stopper II ensures that you’ll always land your catch.

Dyna-balance comes into its own when you’re playing a hard fighting fish and it completely eliminates reel wobble. Ball bearings, as well as Floating Shaft II technology, extend the longevity of your reel as well as improving the smoothness of performance.

These reels can cope under considerable strain in their lifespan and these technologies ensure that the Baitrunner DL doesn’t let you down when it matters. Whether you’re after a top-quality front drag reel or you’re in the market for a rear drag performance piece you need look no further than this offering from Shimano.
