Shimano Rods, Reels & Fishing Gear

Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jigs are a proven concept of Butterfly Jigging technique. Drop the jig down to the bottom, then crank it up 30 feet off the bottom and free spool. Or cast the jig and let it fall while free spooling, wait for the bite, then jerk and repeat. The center balanced jig falls with a wobbling action in a horizontal position, keeping the jig in the strike zone longer.

Features:
• Hydrodynamic flat keel design
• Center balanced jig flatten on the fall
• Two Owner dancing stinger hooks with PowerPro 250lb. assist

The Shimano Baitrunner D Series is the benchmark in baitrunner spinning reels — engineered for anglers who fish live or cut bait in both saltwater and freshwater environments.

How the Baitrunner System Works

Cast your bait, then flip the lever on the back of the reel to engage free-spool mode. The bail stays closed while your bait swims naturally — no more missed hooksets from a spinning reel that can't close fast enough on a hard-running fish. When you're ready to fight, simply turn the handle and the main drag engages instantly.

Adjustable Free-Spool Drag

The rear dial lets you fine-tune the free-spool tension on the fly. Slow down a large, fast-swimming bait or open up the spool for a lighter presentation — all without touching your main drag setting.

Key Features

• Baitrunner lever for true free-spool fishing with bail closed
• Adjustable rear free-spool drag dial
• Instant main drag engagement on handle turn
• Suitable for saltwater and freshwater live bait applications
• Available in 4000D, 6000D, 8000D, and 12000D sizes

If you need a cover for your spinning, conventional, or bait casting reel, the Shimano Reel Cover fits all Shimano reels but also other brands as well. It's made of neoprene material which will protect your reel from scratches and blemishes. These reel covers fit both right and left hand reels.

The padding is sufficient enough to protect it but thin enough so that it's not bulky. It attaches with a premium velcro strap and has vented holes to allow for moisture to escape.

As with all the models, they can be attached to your reel and remain on the rod. The spinning version actually wraps around the rod keeping it and your reel secure and safe. These fit both left and right hand reels but the logo may be upside down on left handed reels. Shimano puts a "1" on the left hand reels model number to indicate they are left handed. For example, the right hand is a Tranx 400 is left hand and the 401. Wondering what size you need for your reel, check out the information below.

The medium round cover will fit Shimano 300 size and 400 size Curado and Tranx reels but it will be loose fitting. As of February 2024, Shimano doesn't make a cover to fit these reels tightly.
