New Shimano Kingfish Heavy Topwater Lure Casting Combo

Kingfish Heavy Topwater Lure Casting Combo

This Topwater Lure Casting Combo is suited well to casting larger stickbaits and poppers for large pelagic fish such as Kingfish, Cobia, Longtail, Mackerel, Tuna etc. Made up of a Shimano Rod, Shimano Reel and Daiwa line and composed by experienced staff, you can fish with confidence knowing that you’re fishing with quality gear while still getting great value for money. The Shimano Jewel Topwater 802 PE3-6 spinning rod has a softer tip with a fast taper, ideal for working poppers and stickbaits, with plenty of power down low on the rod to muscle big kingfish off the rocks and in tight structure. The Shimano Saragosa 14000 is the perfect match for the rod with 10kg of drag. Daiwa J-Braid x4 50lb Yellow 300yds is what the reel comes spooled with, which has plenty of power and abrasion resistance if fishing off the rocks and/or around heavy structure.

Daiwa Saltist 5000

The new Saltist introduces unrivalled ground-breaking technology to the world at a price point never available before. Digigear II, Magseal, ATD, Magsealed Line Roller and Air Rotor feature in the all-new Saltist.

Given the popularity of saltwater fishing, reducing water penetration is a major goal to minimize corrosion, promote longer life and better performance. Daiwa found a solution – Magseal, this system greatly reduces the penetration of water inside the body via the main shaft. Being magnetized this lubrication system avoids any friction, reduces dust intrusion, eliminates oil spray and improves reel life expectancy.

Not content with Magsealing the rotor/anti-reverse system, Saltist also introduces a fully contained Magsealed line roller system to attenuate water intrusion, maintain rotation smoothness and increase part longevity. Magseal has now reached the pinnacle of evolution.

Daiwa’s new drag, ATD implements structural changes to the spool metal of the reel that provides greater support of the spool across the entire length of the main shaft.

This additional support of the spool reduces spool twist under load, promotes more even wear of the drag washers and ultimately reduces pulsing of the drag when fighting the fish. Combined with new improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag startup.

This reduces initial drag startup inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

16 Saltist sets the standard as one of the best heavy-duty reels available.

SHIMANO JEWEL SPIN

The Jewel Range is back with 5 purpose built spin models for Australian saltwater and freshwater species. The range is built on a T45 blank and fitted with Fuji K Alconite guides and TVS reel seats, these Jewel spin rods represents high end contruction and superior value. The construction of the T45 blank sets the Jewel apart from traditional graphite construction, where a graphite tape is linear rolled at 45 degrees and is then reinforced by two opposing angled premium graphite sheets, creating a light yet extremely strong blank. Each spin rod that features within the Jewel range has been designed and handpicked with target species in mind, from Snapper right through to finnesse bream.
