Product Description
Designed for the serious angler, the Shimano Lipstix Rod 6'6" 8-15kg + Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Overhead Reel combo delivers exceptional performance for boat fishing. This powerful setup is perfectly suited for targeting hard-fighting species like Snapper and Kingfish, especially when dropping baits into deep water or working around reef structures. Experience the reliable strength of the Shimano Lipstix fishing rod paired with the high-speed efficiency of the Tekota 500 A-HG overhead reel, ensuring you are equipped for success on the water.
The Lipstix 6'6" Overhead Rod is engineered for durability and sensitivity. Constructed from a robust, thick-walled tubular glass/graphite composite blank, it is built to withstand the rigours of boat fishing and the powerful surges of large fish. With an 8-15kg line weight rating and a versatile 6'6" length, this Shimano Lipstix fishing rod offers the ideal balance of a responsive tip for detecting subtle bites and significant lower-end leverage to effectively lift strong fish from the depths.
Complementing the rod is the highly regarded Tekota 500 A-HG high gear overhead reel. This reel represents a substantial upgrade, featuring Shimano's exceptionally rigid HAGANE Body, which eliminates flex and ensures maximum cranking power is transferred directly to the fight. The S-Compact design allows the reel to sit lower and feel smaller in your hand without compromising line capacity. Its high gear ratio of 6.3:1 is a game-changer for deep-water drops, enabling significantly faster retrieval of your rig compared to standard-geared reels, saving effort during long fishing sessions.
