Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Vortex Boat Combo 5ft 10in 8-10kg 1pc

Powerful, light and sensitive

The Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Vortex Boat Combo is a fantastic combo for fisho looking for bang for their buck.

The Reel
Tekota's legacy of durability continues with the fully redesigned Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel. Vast improvements have been made, including Coreprotect water resist to increase corrosion resistance, an easy to replace anti-fogging lens (LC models), loud clicker and new ergonomic S-Compact body design.

Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transfrorms your actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.

S-ARB
These bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing's rotation.

CoreProtect
Total protection. The concept of CoreProtect is simple - to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key ares of the reel that require protection: the roller clutch, body, and line roller.

Cross Carbon Drag
This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

The Rod
The Shimano Vortex Overhead Rod is a dynamic and versatile rod made to fit directly into the Kiwi lifestyle. This rod features a Power-Carbon blank especially designed to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so as to retain sensitivity from the bite to the fight and also 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.
