Seemingly against the laws of nature, lightweight with the power to stop big fish are not words commonly found together in a sentence. Thunnus CI4 takes a page from Shimano’s bicycle division and uses carbon materials in high-impact situations in response to anglers wanting a reel with bait-running functionality but in a lightweight body.
Shimano Thunnus CI4 Baitrunner Spinning Reels
Built using Shimano’s advanced CI4 carbon construction, the Thunnus CI4 significantly reduces overall reel weight while maintaining exceptional rigidity and strength under heavy loads. Compared to previous generations, these reels are dramatically lighter without sacrificing durability, making them ideal for anglers fishing live baits for species such as striped bass, tarpon, snook, sailfish, and tuna.
