Charleston, SC – Shimano North America Fishing proudly introduces the LEDGE RUNNER, an all-new offshore trolling lure engineered to redefine depth control, durability, and high-speed stability. LEDGE RUNNER is purpose-built for demanding saltwater environments and features state-of-the-art Shimano technology that elevates offshore trolling performance across a wide range of species and conditions.
LEDGE RUNNER expands Shimano’s saltwater hard-bait line-up through a newly engineered offshore trolling lure that complements the brand’s existing lineup of Topwater, jigs and jerkbaits. This breakthrough lure was created for offshore anglers who seek durability, adaptability, and reliability in their trolling spreads. With two sizes and a curated lineup of offshore-proven colors, LEDGE RUNNER offers versatility for anglers chasing tuna, wahoo, kingfish, and other hard-charging species.
“With LEDGE RUNNER, our goal was to give offshore anglers a tool that adapts instantly to changing conditions,” said Blaine Anderson, Saltwater Marketing Manager for Shimano North America Fishing. “Whether you’re adjusting depth to stay in the strike zone or pushing high trolling speeds offshore, LEDGE RUNNER tracks straight, holds up to aggressive fish, and allows anglers to troll a true four rod spread without fear of tangles or blow outs”.
LEDGE RUNNER integrates two exclusive Shimano technologies that set a new benchmark for trolling innovation. ADR (Adjustable Depth Range) allows anglers to easily modify trolling depth, enabling rapid adjustments as conditions or target species shift. The lure’s HCW (Hydro Control Wing) stabilizes its posture by optimizing water flow along the body, ensuring a straight, consistent track, even at high speeds. Built with a 3mm-thick solid-plate design, LEDGE RUNNER delivers exceptional durability and longevity under repeated offshore abuse.
