The Redington Salmon/Steelhead Field Kit 8wt is the ultimate ready-to-fish solution for anglers heading to rivers like the Tongariro or swinging for South Island salmon. Featuring a 9-foot, medium-fast action rod, this kit takes the effort out of casting, giving you the precision to handle bulky nymph rigs and heavy wetflies with ease. Because it’s built with a durable anodized aluminum reel seat, you don’t have to worry about the elements; it’s designed to handle the harsh New Zealand environment season after season.
At the heart of this combo is the lightweight RUN reel, which uses a large arbor design for rapid line retrieval—essential when you've hooked a powerhouse that’s heading for the rapids. You’ll have total control thanks to the smooth, carbon drag system, while the included RIO Grand fly line, featuring industry-leading SlickCast technology, ensures your casts fly further and last longer. Everything is perfectly balanced and comes pre-rigged with a tapered leader in a protective Cordura case, making it the perfect grab-and-go setup for your next backcountry mission. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this is a must-have for any serious fly angler.
