Kilwell Xtreme II rods are designed in New Zealand specifically for trout fishing.
The Xtreme II Trolling rod is designed with an action that will cope with 10 colours of heavy lead line
but is still sensitive enough to see when the action of your lure is just right.

The Kilwell XP5000 Trolling/Harling reel is a 3BB light weight levelwind reel that sits on top of your rod for
better control. The levelwind system will lay the line back on the reel perfectly when retrieving the line.
The reel also features an anti reverse feature and a smooth drag.
It has the bonus of a line warning clicker for when you get a strike.

This combo is supplied pre-spooled with 10 colours of 18lb lead line and 55yds 27lb braided backing.

Top tip; The ideal speed for Trolling is about a fast walking speed, around 2.6 km/h.
With a Tassie Devil lure the rod tip should be nodding gently.

Like all Kilwell products this has a Kilwell Limited Lifetime Warranty.

PRIMAL ROD TECHNOLOGIES

COMBO INCLUDES PRIMAL RAW ROD, LAMSON LIQUID REEL AND AIRFLO SUPERFLO LINE

The RAW freshwater series of fly rods feature an ultra-high modulus prepreg of 65 and 57 MSI fibres held together with an extremely strong nano resin. This resin is so strong they were able to reduce the resin content to half of what would normally be used by competitors. This reduces weight and increases the amount you feel through the blank. The rods are fitted with customised machine cut skeletal reel seats with double locking rings and stabilised timber inserts. The stripping guide is a titanium framed SIC and the guides are custom light wire single foot guides. The rod actions are fast while still maintaining enough feel to drop a tiny dry at close range off the rod tip.

The ever productive, ever popular Veltic spinner - 6 Colours

Size 1 = 2.0 grams
Size 2 = 3.5 grams
Size 3 = 5.0 grams
Size 4 = 8.0 grams

The duller Green Veltic work best on the brown Trout while the red is attractive to Rainbows. Use the larger sizes in big or coloured water and the smaller sizes in small clear waters. Morning and evening is the most productive time for spinning

Veltic Spinners have been a New Zealand trout spinning favourite for over 50 years and are the first choice of anglers who pursue trophy trout with spinning tackle.

Veltic lures are the perfect centrally weighted spinner. The long blade shape rotates very close to the shaft giving a faultless spinning action - even with a slow retrieve. Hooks can be easily removed and changed using the unique RUBLEX hook clip system. An effective lure in all types of water and especially so in slow running streams and rivers, and in deep water.

Made in Spain, VELTIC lures are manufactured from premium quality European brass of the exact density to ensure perfect rotation of the blades. All components are deeply polished and the blades receive electrolysis treatment with pure silver which reflects light to attract fish. Each blade is protected by using a water resistant varnish to ensure a durable brightness. High carbon MUSTAD hooks, SANDVIK Swedish stainless steel axle and premium stainless steel German split rings complete the lure
