Shimano Tekota 800PG A Vortex Level Wind Game Combo 5ft 6in 24-37kg 1pc

The toughest combo for the toughest fish

Talk about sturdy! The Shimano Tekota 800PG A Vortex Level Wind Game Combo is matched with strength and toughness in mind. You get the Shimano Tekota reel, which was made to take on tough fish in a tough saltwater environment. The other half of this combo is a dynamic and versatile rod designed for NZ fishing conditions. The Vortex Overhead Rod features a Power-Carbon blank specially designed to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so as to retain sensitivity from the bite and also enhance overall performance without compromise.

The Reel
The latest Shimano Tekota 800PG A Level Wind Overhead Reel continues Tekota's legacy of durability. Just like its predecessors, this reel features the impact-resistant HAGANE Body and the Cross Carbon Drag that can stand up to heat and wear. The new Tekota's S-Compact design reduces the size of the sideplate by 20% so you get a more comfortable hold. This reel's new Coreprotect feature adds water-repelling seals so the body, clutch, and ball bearings won't corrode. The added bearing support of the Shimano Tekota 800PG A Level Wind Overhead Reel increases max drag and retrieve per crank so you can fight fish more easily. Feel the difference of this reel on your next fishing trip.

HAGANE Body
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.

Cross Carbon Drag
The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.

S A-RB Bearings
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano's A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.

The Rod
The Shimano Vortex Overhead Rod is a strong, dynamic and versatile rod that is designed to fit directly into the KIwi lifestyle. It features a Power-carbon blank purposely designed to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip to retain sensitivity from the bite to the fight, and enhance overall performance without compromise. These features allow Kiwi anglers to take full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques, including the perfect match for the Shimano Baitrunner series. The Shimano Vortex Overhead Rod has been designed by kiwi fishos for kiwi fishos - it's as simple as that!
