of tuna fish, Thunnus reels have a lot to live up to.
Not to worry, they are as tough and powerful as one would expect. With
the Shimano Bait Runner feature, the Thunnus offers the advantages of
conventional reels when live-bait fishing packed into a powerful, yet
elegant spinning reel. Aluminum Frame Reel with waterproof drag, Super
Stopper II instant anti-reverse, Dyna Balanced rotor and Fluid Drive
close tolerance gear cutting for enhanced smoothness and ultimate

Shimano Thunnus Featured Highlights
• Aluminum Frame
• Aluminum Side plate
• Aluminum Rotor
• Cold Forged Aluminum Spool provides increased strength and durability.
• Flat T Type Handle Grip
• 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.
• Baitrunner is a secondary drag system that allows for controlled free
spool
with the bail closed. By flipping the lever or turning the handle, the primary drag quickly
takes over.
• Fluidrive uses tight tolerances and the utmost control in the gear cutting
process to provide a
smooth, powerful retrieve.
• Waterproof Drag is sealed against the intrusion of the elements, such as
water or dust.
• Super Stopper II is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates back play for
solid hook sets, yet can be turned on or off to allow back-reeling.
• Rubber Handle Grip is comfortable and soft to the touch.
• Dyna-Balance Similar to balancing a tire, we use counter balancing
techniques in the
rotor to eliminate wobble during the retrieve.
• Power Roller II is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from
casting and retrieving
and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support to help line get onto
the roller quicker.
• Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for
increased efficiency
and durability.
• Aerowrap Worm drive oscillation wraps the line onto the spool in a criss-cross
pattern to reduce friction and increase casting distance.
