Product Description

THE ROD: SHIMANO VORTEX

The team at Shimano Fishing NZ have developed a dynamic and versatile series of rods that has been designed to fit directly in to the kiwi market. The Shimano Vortex family 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 Kiwi anglers to take full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques including the perfect match for the Shimano Baitrunner series, surfcasting options, landbased rock fishing, stray lining with overhead reels and deploying baits in to the benthos for hapuku and the like.

The Shimano Vortex rod range has been designed by kiwi fishos for kiwi fishos - as simple as that!

THE REEL: SHIMANO CORVALUS

The Shimano Corvalus range of reels, are suited to everything from slow jigging and soft baiting for snapper, blue cod, kahawal and john dory, to Inshore trolling for kingfish and offshore for skipjack and albacore tuna.

Each has a die-cast aluminium frame, aluminium side plates and spool, three A-RB bearings and one stainless steel roller bearing, a non-disengaging level wind system on the 400, Super Stopper and Assist Stopper, and a quick take-down system for easy maintenance.

The Corvalus 401 caters for the left-handed angler that prefers overhead reels.

The gear ratios are all 5.2:1, to suit most fishing applications, and the Variable Brake System controls precise casts and lessens the possibilities of over runs.

The individual brake weights, when turned on, are forced outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes most often occur, causing friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens, allowing the spool to continue spinning. The result is a much more consistent sp...
