Reach the "strike zone" far beyond the breakers with this powerful, long-distance setup. This combo is perfectly matched, pairing the massive casting leverage of the Shimano Vortex 15' rod with the specialist, long-cast Shimano Aerlex 14000 XSC reel.

This is the ideal workhorse for the serious land-based angler who needs to cast big baits and heavy sinkers to reach fish that others can't.

• Maximum Casting Leverage: At 15 feet, this rod is a specialized distance-caster. It's built to create an immense arc of power, helping you send a 4-6oz sinker and a big bait over the horizon.

• Serious Backbone: The 10-15kg rating gives you the power to control and turn big fish. It's designed to haul a large snapper, kahawai, or even a kingfish through heavy surf or kelp.

• Durable Construction: The Vortex series is famously tough, built to withstand the harsh conditions of beach and rock fishing.

• Engineered for Distance: The Aerlex is a dedicated surf reel. Its large 14000-size, tapered "long-cast" spool is designed to let line fly off with minimal friction, maximizing your casting range.

• Huge Line Capacity: This reel holds hundreds of metres of line, giving you the capacity you need for those massive casts and the confidence to fight a powerful fish that makes a long run.

• Reliable Workhorse: Built to handle the salt and sand, the Aerlex is a dependable reel that will perform cast after cast.

This is the perfect, balanced setup for any serious land-based angler looking to target snapper, kahawai, kingfish, or sharks from New Zealand's beaches and rock ledges.
