Big fish power. Lightweight feel.
The Shimano Thunnus 8000 F Ci4 is built for anglers chasing serious fish but still wanting a lightweight, comfortable reel to fish all day. Perfect for straylining, live baiting, and casting from the rocks, it delivers the strength needed for kingfish and XOS snapper without the bulk of traditional heavy reels.
Constructed with a CI4 body and rotor, this reel significantly reduces weight while maintaining strength — making it ideal for long sessions where fatigue can cost you fish.
With Shimano’s proven Baitrunner system, you can let fish run naturally before engaging the drag, increasing hook-up rates and giving you full control when it counts.
Light in hand. Heavy on performance.
