Overview
This well-balanced entry-to-mid-range inshore combo is perfectly suited for a wide array of fishing conditions. This rod and reel configuration is a popular setup for softbaiting, straylining, and general bait fishing, ideal for targeting species such as snapper, kahawai, and blue cod. The PE 1.5 Kairiki braid acts as a reliable link, giving you the thin diameter needed for deep drops alongside plenty of strength for hard-fighting reef fish.
The 7'3" rod length provides excellent casting leverage for flinging 1/4oz to 1/2oz softbait jigheads, while the low-stretch braid ensures you feel subtle bites on the drop. This setup is also perfect for drifting unweighted baits down a berley trail or for light inshore trolling with small hardbody lures or spinners.

- Sienna FG M-Compact Body: Engineered for a balanced feel and reduced fatigue during long hours on the water, ensuring a comfortable and controlled fishing experience.
- Sienna FG Propulsion Line Management System: Features a specially designed spool lip that enables longer casting distances while significantly reducing backlash and wind knots, even with braided lines.
- Sienna FG AR-C Spool: Optimises line flow for superior casting performance and efficient line management, contributing to both distance and accuracy.

- Sienna FG Smooth Front Drag System: Offers precise and consistent drag pressure, allowing anglers to fine-tune their settings for optimal control over various fish sizes and conditions.
- Kairiki Braid VT Construction: This high-quality, 8-strand Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) PE braid utilises the VT Construction Method, ensuring a tight weave and smooth profile for reduced friction and noise through rod guides.
