Technologies
S3D Spool
Shimano's S3D technology significantly reduces spool vibration by creating a balanced, uniform spool design, resulting in a smoother feel during casting.
Super Free Spool
Designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during casting. The pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, allowing the spool to rotate more freely for smoother, more efficient casting performance.
The Rod: 26 Taipan
Dependable rods for everyday NZ fishing.
Sometimes you just need a rod that can handle whatever the weekend throws at it, whether that's soaking baits off the beach, chasing snapper and trevally in the estuary, dropping a bait down on a reef, or heading out with the family for a day on the water.
