THE ROD

The Status Bent Butt rods have been constructed utilising high power carbon and e-glass blank technology to withstand and absorb the pressures of deepwater fishing.

The affordable Status Bent Butt series comes in New Zealand's most popular lines weights (301b 501b and 801b) for deepwater fishing. These models come with an ergonomic aluminium bent butt that allows for optimum angles when deploying baits, waiting for bites and fighting tough deepwater species like bass, hapuka (groper) and bluenose.
