Progressive power for modern game fishing!
Built for New Zealand game anglers, the Shimano Game Chaser is a premium offshore rod series engineered to deliver a forgiving, yet powerful action when targeting yellowfin, bluefin tuna, striped marlin, and other hard-fighting ocean pelagics. At the heart of the range is Shimano’s Armour 40-5 blank technology, featuring a progressive action that loads deeper into the blank under heavy pressure, giving you improved control throughout the fight while reducing angler fatigue during grueling back-to-back battles.
The six-rod lineup covers line classes from 10kg through to 37kg in straight butt models, with 24kg and 37kg options available in bent butt for serious game-boat setups. Outfitted with premium ALPS roller guides for smooth line flow under severe drag loads, alongside durable alloy slick butts and ALPS bent butt assemblies, the Game Chaser delivers the refined action, top-tier componentry, and sheer lifting power Kiwi anglers need when hunting trophy gamefish off our offshore ledges, banks, and deep trenches.
