Blackfish Estuary Combo ICatch Luderick Series with Shimano Sedona Large Choice

Blackfish Estuary Combo ICatch Luderick Series with Shimano Sedona 4000

This combo is perfect for fishing estuary and break wall fishing for Blackfish and will also double as a very nice light Bream and Whiting Beach rod, the estuary combo is lighter and softer so not designed for poling fish up high, although it will still do it with smaller fish. The ICatch Luderick Series are a great value rod that will still take a beating so you don’t have to be super careful with it. It is a 10’6” rod with a slow taper designed perfectly for Blackfish. The combo comes with a Shimano Sedona 4000, a great Shimano reel that is lightweight with a smooth drag and won’t give you any issues. The Line is Platypus Monofilament, we recommend Monofilament for our blackfish combos as braid sinks and creates more resistance leaving you less chance of setting the hook when the float goes down and you strike.

This Combo Includes

• ICatch Luderick Series 10’6”
• Shimano Sedona 4000
• Platypus Monofilament 10lb

The Reel

Shimano Sedona 4000

The iconic Shimano Sedona has stepped up a gear for 2017 with the new FI series. In the pursuit of engineering excellence, Shimano has again raised the standard with the incorporation of the Hagane cold forged gear. By leveraging Shimano’s unique metalworking technologies, 200 tons of pressure is applied to the raw metal, resulting in a perfectly formed gear that is free from any machine cutting or imperfections. This transformation process is unlike any other in the world and was once reserved for reels within Shimano’s premium range. This is why the introduction of Hagane Gear into the Sedona series represents a significant step towards the ultimate in smooth, strong and durable fishing reels. In addition to Hagane Gear, the Sedona FI series features G Free Body, developed to shift the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod, improving casting performance and reducing angler fatigue. To further promote casting performance, Shimano’s AR-C Spool design produces longer casting distances and prevents the formation of backlashes and wind knots, whilst Varispeed II ensures even line lay, making the Sedona FI ideal for braided and monofilament line use. Dedicated to all light tackle pursuits, ranging from bream on bait to snapper on plastics. With 6 models in the series ranging from 1000 up to 5000 sizes, all feature 3+1 bearings and the drag output varies between 3kgs and 11kgs depending on the model. When compared to the previous Sedona FE model, the Sedona FI boasts a significant upgrade with Hagane Gear, a redesigned rotor that is lighter and an improved drag output on the 3000 through to the 5000 sizes. Drawing upon the benefits of Shimano’s market leading technologies and finished in stunning silver and gold cosmetics, the Sedona FI represents exception value at a price point that is accessible to all anglers.
