The ocean is like a washing
machine. The anchovies are laughing at you from the recesses of the bait
tank. Standing is an exercise in futility. And it looks like rain. Now
someone's saying you must use plug tackle.
Whew. It was just a bad dream.
How silly of you to think you couldn't use your BaitRunner when you bought
it specifically because you can use it in any situation. You can cast
beautifully with it. You can fly-line a live bait with the bail closed and
still have spool control. You can even use it for big freshwater species.
It's perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Shimano TRN Series
Can you walk and chew gum at the
same time? Okay, that one was easy. But when trolling can you grab the
rod, fight the fish and reel in your downriggers at the same time? Ah hah.
That gets a little trickier.
Sometimes it's not such a bad idea to have a
levelwind feature on your downrigging reels so all you have to think about
is winding frantically. Nor does it hurt to have a solid, one-piece
graphite frame, a large drag surface and your choice of lever drag on the
Charter Special or star drag on the TRN. And you can even use
both reels for light saltwater applications. Overall, it just makes the
whole process a lot less complicated.

Shimano TLD Series
You don't need a big boat to
catch big fish. In fact, there's absolutely no reason why you couldn't
catch a 250-pound thresher shark from your 20-foot center console
boat.
Unless you left your TLD at
home.
If you own a small
fishing boat, or you often find yourself elbow-to-elbow with your angling
compatriots on the large party boats, you need a reel that's both nimble
and versatile. Our TLD reels are light in hand, so easy to shift they're
almost mindless, and they're adaptable to any number of bluewater species
from tuna to striped marlin. And because they're built by Shimano,
durability is an inevitable part of the package. A large, private,
ocean-going vessel may be neat, but it's not necessary. Just match the
tackle to the situation. And let the fish fall where they may.

Shimano STAR TLD Series
Fish are fickle, no? Sometimes it
seems they'll eat a bait that's dangling from your teeth. Other times you
can't get anywhere near them. And some species, like Kingfish, take the
bait and keep on coming, leaving a belly in the line that the bionic woman
couldn't reel in fast enough.
So what are you going to do about
it? May we suggest two options. The TLD Star gives you outstanding
cast-ability with both real and artificial baits so you can stalk the
school from afar. And the SPEEDMASTER has a 6:1 gear ratio that helps you get rid of
that belly and beat the King at his own game. Either way, you're prepared.
And that's the whole battle.
Because fish are moody. Tackle
shouldn't be.

Shimano Torium Series
Durable High-Speed Reel That Casts Effortlessly!
The new Torium reels are built with the angler's needs in mind with increased durability,
a 6.2:1 high speed retrieve, and increased freespool for effortless castability.
If it's kingfish, striped bass, schoolie tuna, or dolphin, this reel excels during the
most heated battles in the harshest climates. The one-piece aluminum diecast frame eliminates
any type of side-to-side flex.
Coupled with Shimano's High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) and power handle, the Torium
can turn any head the right way. The new Torium also offers anglers the comfort features
of a contoured Septon* handle grip, an oversized cast control knob and clicker button for
ease of use. The Torium makes any fishing time an enjoyable experience and puts your mind to rest.
Any doubts you have had about your equipment are in the past. If it's hardcore party boat time or
free time in the center console, the Torium will make your time on the water memorable.

CORVALUS
Corvalus Features:
Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability.
Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets.
Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability.
Non-Disengaging Levelwind System (only on 400 and 401 modles) allows the levelwind to track back and forth during the cast which reduces drastic line angles that cause unwanted friction and backlashes on wide-spool reels.
Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
Two Post Quick Take Down by unscrewing the thumb screws the sideplate can be easily removed for maintenance or to adjust the VBS brake weights.
Rubber Handle Grip is comfortable and soft to the touch.

New Shimano Cardiff Series
CARDIFF
Cardiff Features:
A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.
Handle Side VBS allows the angler to adjust the VBS brake weights without removing the spool from the reel.
Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability.
Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets.
Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability.
Non-Disengaging Levelwind System (available only on models 400 and 401) allows the levelwind to track back and forth during the cast which reduces drastic line angles that cause unwanted friction and backlashes on wide-spool reels.
Recessed Reel Foot (except on models 400 and 401) allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability.
Three Post Quick Take Down (except on models CDF100A which is 2-post) by unscrewing the thumb screws the sideplate can be easily removed for maintenance or to adjust the VBS brake weights.
Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
