Unleash the power of the ocean with the ultimate deep-sea fishing combination: the Shimano Status Bluewater Game 5'6" 37kg Straight Butt Roller Tip Rod paired with the legendary Shimano TLD50LRS 2-Speed Reel. This formidable combo is meticulously engineered for serious anglers tackling large game fish and challenging offshore conditions, making it a prime choice for diverse fishing grounds.

The Shimano Status Bluewater Game Rod, at 5'6" with a 37kg line rating, is built for extreme deepwater battles. Its powerful E-glass and carbon composite blank technology provides immense lifting strength and responsiveness, essential for targeting formidable deepwater species such as Bass, Hapuka, and Bluenose. The rod features a straight slick carbon butt, complemented by an Aftco roller tip and Pac Bay guides, ensuring flawless line management and exceptional durability under pressure. Beyond its robust performance, the Status Bluewater Game Rod presents a striking aesthetic with a sleek black blank, subtle silver flecks, silver and blue bindings, and a distinctive carbon weave, making it a high-performing and attractive addition to any deepwater fishing arsenal.

Complementing the rod is the iconic Shimano TLD50LRS 2-Speed Reel, renowned for its unwavering reliability and solid, proven construction. This versatile reel, often referred to simply as the TLD50, is a favourite among anglers worldwide for its adaptability across various fishing applications. Whether you are using monofilament lines for trolling live bait, sub-surface bibbed lures, or game lures for species like kingfish, tuna, or marlin, the TLD50LRS performs flawlessly. It is equally adept at employing braided lines, such as PowerPro, for dropping baited hooks into the benthos to target bluenose, hapuka, and bass. Its lightweight graphite frame and side plate, an aluminium spool, and a composite XT-7 frame material work together to eliminate body 'twist' for enhanced performance. The one-touch two-speed shifting, combined with 4 A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings), stainless steel gears and main shaft, and titanium drags, ensures smooth operation and exceptional durability, even during the most demanding fights.
