This combo will serve as a great all-purpose light offshore combo, but what we've really put it together for is to chase Snapper on soft plastics. The 7ft6 TD ZED is a bit longer than your typical spin rod, this extra length gives you more casting distance meaning you cover more ground on your drift, you'll also be able to use lighter jigheads and still cast them a long way giving your lures a more natural presentation. The ZED has a fast tip, perfect for fishing with soft plastics as you'll be in contact with the lure when working it and when there is less give in the top section of the rod you get a better action out of the plastic. The 25 Ultegra is packed with Shimanos latest tech, most importantly it has a smooth drag and is well sealed which are essential features of an offshore fishing reel. We chose the 5000 for this combo as it will fit a full spool of 20lb J-Braid, meaning you can go harder on fish if need be. This combo will also act as a nice Mulloway or inshore Kingfish setup.
This Combo Includes:
- Shimano 25 Ultegra 5000
- Daiwa TD ZED 7ft6 4-9kg
- Daiwa J-Braid 300m 20lb
