Fishing has become a popular family pastime, and Shimano has recognised this by designing the Kidstix series of rods. This combo, pairing the Kidstix rod with the reliable Shimano FX4000 reel, is ideal for junior anglers and those new to fishing, offering a fantastic entry into the sport.

The Shimano Kidstix rod series features a tough blank, a graphite reel seat, and ceramic guides, all complemented by cosmetics designed to appeal to both boy and girl junior anglers.

The Shimano FX4000 reel is an entry-level spin reel, ideal for those wanting to try their hand at fishing for the first time or for those who want to get their kids into a healthy pastime. While not expensive, the FX4000 will handle most conditions and tasks asked of it. Whether spinning for trout, salmon, or kahawai with hard-bodied lures, or flicking a bait off the wharf, this reel has it covered.
