Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Vortex Boat Combo 6ft 10in 8-10kg 1pc

Powerful, light and sensitive

The Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Vortex Boat Combo is a
fantastic combo for fisho looking for bang for their buck.

The Reel
Tekota’s legacy of durability continues with the fully redesigned
Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel. Vast
improvements have been made, including Coreprotect water resist to
increase corrosion resistance, an easy to replace anti-fogging lens
(LC models), loud clicker and new ergonomic S-Compact body
design.

Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body
stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing.
The result transfrorms your actions directly into cranking power.
It’s efficiency through strength.

S-ARB
These bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB
bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that
reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing’s
rotation.

CoreProtect
Total protection. The concept of CoreProtect is simple – to provide
water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There
are three key ares of the reel that require protection: the roller
clutch, body, and line roller.

Cross Carbon Drag
This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along
with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

The Rod
The team at Shimano Fishing NZ have developed a dynamic and
versatile series of rods that has been designed to handle the
toughest fishing conditions. The Shimano Vortex Overhead
Boat Rod features a Power-Carbon blank specially designed
to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so as to retain
sensitivity from the bite to the fight and also enhance overall
performance without compromise. These features allow you to take
full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques.
This rod is ideal for straylining with overhead reels and deploying
baits in to the benthos for Hapuka and the like.
