Discover the ultimate all-round fishing setup with the Shimano Catana Rod 7'6" 4-8kg + Shimano Nexave FJ 4000HG Spinning Reel combo, complete with pre-spooled Shimano Kairiki 8 Braid PE 1.5 150m Mantis Green. This high-performance package is meticulously designed for anglers seeking a lightweight, responsive, and dependable combination for softbaiting, lure fishing, and general inshore fishing across both freshwater and saltwater environments.

The 2025 redesigned Shimano Catana rod delivers a crisp, sensitive feel and refined control, perfectly complementing the Nexave FJ 4000HG reel's smooth operation and robust construction. With the added advantage of premium Kairiki 8 braid, this combo ensures an enjoyable and successful day on the water, ready for diverse angling adventures.

• Responsive Rod Performance: The 2025 redesigned Shimano Catana rod, with its 7'6" length and 2-piece construction, features a responsive 24-ton carbon blank. This provides exceptional sensitivity and strength for effective lure fishing, generating excellent tip speed for long casts with softbaits, slow jigs, and small metal lures. It is rated for 4-8kg line and 7-28gm lures.
• Smooth & Balanced Reel Operation: The Shimano Nexave FJ 4000HG Spinning Reel integrates SilentDrive technology, tightening internal gear and drive-train tolerances to eliminate handle play, rattles, and vibration for quiet and smooth retrieval. The G-Free Body design shifts the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod, reducing angler fatigue and enhancing casting comfort during extended sessions.
• Enhanced Casting & Line Management: Featuring the Propulsion Line Management System with an AR-C Spool, this reel ensures longer casting distances and actively helps prevent backlashes and wind knots. The Anti-Twist Fin, a flexible polymer fin near the line roller, maintains tension on slack line, further reducing line issues when using thin braid like the included Kairiki 8.
• High-Speed Retrieve: With a High Gear (HG) 5.8:1 ratio, the Nexave FJ 4000HG retrieves 93cm of line per crank. This high-speed retrieve allows for quick line pick-up when working lures in deeper water or current, and efficiently battling fish.
• Premium Braided Line: The included Shimano Kairiki 8 Braid PE 1.5 150m Mantis Green is engineered with advanced VT Construction braiding technology. This 8-carrier braid delivers exceptional sensitivity and casting performance due to its remarkably smoother finish and reduced diameter, making it ideal for detecting subtle bites and achieving long casts.
• Durable Construction: Both components are built for longevity. The Catana rod features durable Sea Guide Aluminium Oxide guides, a custom Shimano reel seat, and high-quality cork and EVA grips. The Nexave reel boasts an XT-7 Body, Cold Forged Aluminium Spool, and Zinc Diecast Handle for lightweight strength and reliable performance in diverse fishing conditions.
