The Shimano Sakana III & FX is an awesome entry level estuary lure fishing combo, ideal for casting light topwater lures, crankbaits, plastics and vibes for fish like Flathead and Bream. The graphite blank of the Sakana means its ultra-responsive, ideal for lure fishing. It loads up quite nicely and has alot of strength down low so if you hook a Mulloway or hard fighting pelagic you wont be too undergunned. The Shimano FX weighs very little and has a smooth drag, two essentials for a light lure fishing reel. We chose J-Braid x4 for this combo as braid is essential for lure fishing and J-Braid x4 is a good meeting point between quality and affordability.
This Combo Includes:
- Shimano Sakana III 7ft2 2pc 1-4kg
- Shimano FX 1000
- Daiwa J-Braid x4 135m
