In little or no time at all the Big Baitrunner Long Cast has built up a huge following with specialist big carp anglers. It has immense cranking capability. It is the ultimate carp controller and in snag-festooned swims, the carp should only swim one way.... towards the landing net. Be assured that when a situation needs a dominant influence, this reel can be called upon to deliver the goods and of course, with Shimano Stress Free System as standard, it does so in a smooth, controlled and effortless way. There are many big pit reels with a variety of front drag conversions but where the Big Baitrunner Long Cast outshines them all is in the actual Baitrunner department, which is integral, and comes as standard. No need for the additional expense of conversions that are awkward to operate and leave you fumbling around in the dark when the line is ripping off the reel. The Baitrunner mechanism disengages automatically once the handle is wound forward and the Baitrunner clutch is then transferred to the pre-tensioned main drag instantly. It couldn't be simpler it can't be bettered. Shimano's unsurpassed Aero Wrap line lay system enables really big casts which result from the low resistance line release and many top distance carp anglers have already switched to the Long Cast as a result... anglers like Orchid Lake's Marsh Pratley, winner of the 2001 British carp Casting Federation all comers casting competition. With 6 casts he put an aggregate score of 908.9 metres (averaging just over 150 metres), in fact his best attempt on the day was a staggering 163.9 metres (over 180 yards!) from a standard overhead cast!!
