Solid and reliable
Looking for a solid boat combo for your next mission? Check out the
Shimano Charter Special TR2000 LD Vortex Boat
Combo. It comes with the Shimano Charter Special TR2000
Lever Drag Reel, which was made for those who need the power of a
saltwater reel, but prefer the easy to operate convenience of a
drag mechanism and reliable levelwind. You also get the Shimano
Vortex Overhead Rod, a dynamic and versatile rod that’s tough
enough to take a beating.
The Reel
There are many anglers who yearn for a powerful saltwater reel but
still prefer the convenience of an easy to operate drag mechanism
and a reliable levelwind. It is for these anglers that Shimano
built the Shimano Charter Special TR2000 Lever Drag
Reel. Designed to take a beating, this reel offers plenty
of performance and easy to use features all with a very reasonable
price tag. From a massive, heavy-duty levelwind mechanism that just
will not jam and that spreads line evenly across the aluminium
spool, to the light but strong XT7 body, this reel is up to coping
with the worst treatment that inexperienced fishos can dish out.
For more experienced anglers then, this reel will continue to
provide faultless service for many years to come.
The Charter Special may not be as flashy or feature-rich as some of
the other reels in the Shimano lineup, but it continues to be
popular for saltwater anglers looking for a straightforward to
operate and trustworthy levelwind reel.
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.
