Solid all-round boat fishing combo

The Reel
Looking for a baitcaster reel with a low profile design? The Shimano Cardiff 400 A Baitcaster Reel has all the great features of a round reel without sacrificing the benefits of a low profile design. It's made with a recessed reel foot which allows the reel to sit close to the rod, allowing you to palm like a low profile reel. Plus the spool still has the high line capacity you would expect from a round reel, so you get the best of both worlds. This reel features the VBS anti-backlash system, Super Stopper anti-reverse, solid one-piece aluminium frame and deep adonised side plates which makes the Shimano Cardiff 400 A Bait Caster Reel a winner.

The Rod
The team at Shimano Fishing NZ have developed a dynamic and versatile series of rods that has been designed to handle the toughest fishing conditions. The Shimano Vortex Overhead Boat Rod features a Power-Carbon blank specially 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 you to take full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques. This rod is ideal for straylining with overhead reels and deploying baits in to the benthos for Hapuka and the like.
