The Daiwa Exceler Oceano 762MHFS + Daiwa Freams LT 4000 fishing combo represents a premium step-up for anglers engaging in softbait and light strayline fishing across New Zealand's diverse waters. Specifically engineered to excel in local conditions, this powerful yet lightweight setup is ideal for targeting hard-fighting species like Snapper and Kingfish. The renowned Daiwa Oceano Exceler rod delivers exceptional power and sensitivity, perfectly complemented by the advanced performance and durability of the Daiwa Freams LT 4000 spinning reel.

Embodying Daiwa's innovative Light & Tough (LT) concept, the Freams LT 4000 reel features cutting-edge Magseal technology, a magnetic oil barrier that significantly enhances resistance to saltwater intrusion. This crucial protection ensures smoother operation and an extended lifespan in demanding marine environments, a significant advantage over many entry-level reels. The reel's Zaion V Construction provides a lightweight yet rigid body and rotor, ensuring optimal gear alignment under heavy loads, while Tough Digigear delivers exceptionally smooth, powerful winding. Its ATD Drag system offers consistent performance, and the LC-ABS Spool is designed for longer, trouble-free casting.

The Daiwa Exceler Oceano 762MHFS rod, with its Medium-Heavy Fast action, is perfectly suited for casting heavier jigheads (up to 1oz) into wash zones or effectively dragging baits. Constructed with HSD Graphite and featuring Braiding X technology in the lower blank section, the rod reduces blank twist during intense fights, transferring more power to the fish and reducing angler fatigue. High-quality Fuji "O" Ring Guides with stainless steel frames provide excellent corrosion resistance and ensure smooth line flow, essential for long casts and protecting your line in saltwater. An ergonomic Daiwa Custom Reel Seat ensures comfort during extended fishing sessions. The included PE 1.5 braid provides ample stopping power for reef-dwelling fish without compromising casting distance, positioning this combo firmly in the heavy softbait category.

• Reel: Magsealed Body, The pinion gear is protected by a magnetic oil barrier (Magseal) that prevents water and salt dust from entering the gearbox. This is a massive advantage for kayak and boat anglers exposed to salt spray, significantly extending the reel's lifespan and maintaining smooth performance.

• Reel: Zaion V Construction, The Freams LT utilises Daiwa’s Zaion V carbon composite for both the body and rotor. This material is lighter than standard graphite but much more rigid, ensuring the gears stay perfectly aligned under heavy load, translating to more power and durability.

• Reel: Tough Digigear, Features a larger diameter drive gear with improved tooth geometry for exceptionally smooth, powerful winding and increased gear longevity, even under intense pressure.

• Reel: ATD Drag, Automatic Tournament Drag system provides smooth and consistent drag performance, protecting delicate lines from aggressive fish strikes.

• Reel: LC-ABS Spool, Designed for longer casting distances and reduced line trouble, enhancing overall casting efficiency.

• Rod: Braiding X, The lower section of the rod blank is reinforced with X-wrapped carbon tape. This advanced technology reduces "blank twist" when fighting heavy fish, transferring more power directly to the fish and less stress to your wrist, enhancing control and reducing angler fatigue.

• Rod: Fuji Guides, High-quality Fuji "O" Ring guides with stainless steel frames provide excellent corrosion resistance and ensure smooth line flow, crucial for long casts and protecting your line from wear in saltwater conditions.

• Rod: HSD Graphite, High Strength & Durability graphite material contributes to the rod's lightweight yet robust construction.

• Rod: Daiwa Custom Reel Seat, Ergonomically designed for comfort and a secure grip during prolonged fishing sessions.

• Line Class: PE 1.5 (Approx. 25lb - 30lb braid).

• Application: This line class offers an ideal balance for the rod, being thin enough to achieve long casts with 1/2oz jigheads, while providing the necessary abrasion resistance for fishing around kelp and other challenging structures.
