Mikado Katsudo Runner is a versatile free spool fishing reel designed for a wide range of bottom fishing techniques. It is suitable for Method Feeder, traditional feeder fishing and carp fishing, offering practical features for anglers who fish with their rods resting on banksticks or rod rests. Thanks to its integrated free spool mechanism, the reel can also be used for predator fishing with live or dead baitfish. Its compact body, precisely balanced rotor and powerful front drag make the Katsudo Runner an attractive choice for anglers looking for a reliable reel for different types of static fishing.
One of the key features of the Mikado Katsudo Runner is its free spool system, which allows a fish to take line after a bite without having to loosen the main drag. This is particularly useful when fishing with rods positioned on rests, whether targeting carp or other species using bottom fishing techniques. The reel also features a precisely adjustable front drag with a maximum drag force of 13 kg, providing controlled line release when playing fish. The carefully balanced rotor and robust gearing contribute to smooth, stable operation during retrieves and demanding fights.
The Mikado Katsudo Runner 4005 FD features 5 bearings in a 4+1 configuration and a 5.0:1 gear ratio. It retrieves 71 cm of line per handle turn, allowing anglers to wind in feeder and bottom fishing rigs comfortably. The reel weighs 382 g and has a spool capacity of 220 m of 0.285 mm line or 120 m of 0.37 mm line. An aluminium spool, compact body and ergonomic handle knob complete the design, providing comfortable handling during longer fishing sessions and when playing larger fish.
Mikado Katsudo Runner 4005 FD is a practical choice for anglers who want to use a single reel for several fishing techniques. In Method Feeder and traditional feeder fishing setups, the free spool system makes it easier to leave the rod ready for a bite. When carp fishing, it allows line to be taken during a powerful run, while the front drag provides control once the angler begins playing the fish. The same feature is also useful when targeting predatory fish with natural baits. Combining a free spool mechanism, powerful front drag and smooth gearing, the Katsudo Runner offers versatility for feeder fishing, carp fishing and other bottom fishing applications.
