demanding fisho who needs a topwater combo that can keep up!

The Reel
The Shimano Stella 5000 WBHG Spinning Reel is
meticulously engineered to handle nearly any sport fish found in
NZ’s prolific waters. It features the power of X-Ship which
enhances power transmission through the gear – this results in
increased cranking power with an extremely smooth feel when jigging
and casting lures for extended periods of time. The Shimano
Stella 5000 WBHG Spinning Reel is excellent in both power
and speed. It has versatile functions, perfect for the speed you
need for jigging.

The Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type C S80M Topwater Spin Rod
focuses on effortless power and smooth casts. It features both
Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank construction for increased strength
and less power loss during jerking and fighting. Plus it uses
double-footed MN guides for higher strength and rigidity. Perfect
for fishing with stickbaits and popper lures.

Spiral X
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of
vertical fibres, an inner layer and an outer layer, both comprising
of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite
directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional
horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional
rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates
instant power transmission for precise casting and for fighting
fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano’s Spiral
X construction enhances your “catching power”.

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer is
diagonally wrapped with carbon tape which forms an array of “X”
shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle, and the part of
the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish
species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps
during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength
and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction
delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
