After more than three years in development, the hugely anticipated launch of the new Fox Stratos 12000 Magnesium reels has been confirmed for February/March 2008.

The reels are both made with Magnesium Bodies and Rotors to create a lighter and stronger reel, compared to more traditional materials. And unlike many other top-end big pit reels, both models come supplied with a spare spool and Neoprene reel pouch.

After introducing the Navi XSA in 2005, Shimano had immediate requests to introduce the Baitrunner Spool System into the range. The 8000 size, with its large line capacity, Aero Wrap and 2-speed oscillation systems, create an extremely flat line lay that can be adjusted to suit your own preference using the variable line lay system.

The Power Aero XT-A now features the new and improved next generation Baitrunner Spool System II ? making it even more user friendly, with a highly responsive inner drag knob for ease of setting up and adjusting whilst playing fish.

The cosmetic and mechanical upgrades are immediately evident and include: a cold forged, anodised aluminium spool in gun-smoke grey with 1 spare anodised, cold forged shallow spool (6000 size) included. A manual bail system has been incorporated into the Power Aero, this eliminates any engagement on a cast.

Introducing the new Super Baitrunner XTE-A range of reels for anglers who demand only the best when it comes to a Baitrunner. Ranging in size from 5000 to 10000, there’s a size to suit all anglers in the XTE-A family. The XTE-A contains considerable improvements around its free spool tension and rear drag systems, for easier control. A look inside the new reel will reveal the latest generation of gearing, oscillation and drag systems.

The little big pit reel with massive big pit attitude. Answering the prayers of not just carpers alone, the 5500 XT-B is also ideal for Surf, Pike, Barbel, Zander and Salmon fishing. Even long range feeder anglers will have their heads turned and rods soon fitted with this reel.

Featuring an incredibly lightweight biomechanical handle, Baitrunner Spool System II, and 2-Speed Oscillation plus Aero Wrap for perfect line lay and smooth clutch operation. A long range casters dream, and with the addition of a new cold forged AR-C spool and 4 Shielded A-RB + 1 Roller Bearing performance, it just gets better. AR-C spool technology provides an angled front spool lip, which produces reduced diameter coils on the cast, vastly reducing energy lost through larger coils of line entering the guides. Less friction means more energy is retained from the initial casting force which makes longer casts for less effort. With over a metre of line retrieve per crank of the handle, it does not take long to retrieve your line with the extra distance this reel is capable of. 1 spare aluminium AR-C spool is supplied as standard.
