Product Description
AFFORDABLE ALL-ROUND SOFTBAIT COMBO FOR SPIN ANGLERS
This combo pairs the Shimano 26 Nexave 4000HG FJ spinning reel with the 25 Aquatip 7ft 3in two-piece rod rated 6-8kg, making a dependable, value-packed outfit for anglers getting into soft baiting or anyone after a reliable back-up stick. The Nexave brings smooth, quiet performance with SILENTDRIVE and an ANTI-TWIST FIN to keep your line laying neatly, while the Aquatip blank handles soft baits, metal lures and light bait with easy, forgiving action.
The 4000HG reel size delivers a fast 93cm line retrieve per crank from its 5.8:1 gear ratio, with up to 11kg of max drag to slow down better fish. At 305g it balances nicely on the full-length EVA grip of the Aquatip, which splits into two pieces for easier transport and storage.
Built around a durable 24T carbon blank with forward-facing Zirconia guides and a Shimano reel seat, this outfit is a genuine all-rounder for New Zealand saltwater, from wharves and rocks to the boat.
