Flathead Fishing Combo Medium Heavy Soft Plastic And Hard Body Combo Shimano Hardocker And Vanford

Medium Soft Plastic and Hard Body Combo Shimano Hardocker and Vanford 4000 XG

Just like the heavier version of this combo, this is also one of the best picks when it comes down to a receptive light weight combo that casts like a bullet. It is an all-rounder that will perform magically on a multitude of species. It is perfect as a land based combo due to its length but if you know your way around a boat then it is an epic boat combo too. As a long rod it means getting your lure further from the boat, therefore your lure spends more time in the water. Another advantage of having a long rod is that you get your lure further away from the boat so fish are less spooked by the boat. This ultimately means you will get more fish. This combo is just directed at slightly smaller lures so lends itself still to smaller pelagic species like Spotted Macks, Kings, Bonnies, and Snapper, and also is one of the nicest estuary combos for XL Flathead and Mulloway but being able to throw as light as 1/4oz it is still nice for general estuary fishing too. The rod casts 8-32grams so you can throw a 1oz jig head offshore and a 1/4oz in a big plastic in the rivers and harbours. The reel is the Shimano Vanford 4000, the Vanford’s are ultra smooth to use and the drag is just as smooth. The 4000 Vanford has more drag than you will ever need. The reel comes spooled with Shimano Power pro 15lb 300m yellow. We chose power pro because it is an abrasive resistant, long-lasting, strong line. This is a combo you will thoroughly enjoy fishing with.

This Combo Includes

• Shimano Hardocker 83MH 
• Shimano Vanford 4000
• Shimano Power Pro Yellow 15lb 300m

Shimano Hardrocker BB Spinning Fishing Rod

The Hard Rocker BB is a fast-actioned rod range will cover everything from spinning off the rocks to shore jigging. With 4 models in the range, from a PE1.2 – PE2, there’s a perfect rod to suit your light rock and shore-based angling needs. Build on a Hi-Power X carbon wrapped blank, this range sees blank twisting reduced and with more strength and increased casting ability. Along with Hi Power X, the guides are Fuji K Stainless Alconite which aids in reducing line tangle, providing you with trouble free casting. All models are a two-piece construction which is perfect for packing up and taking out to your favourite land-based spot. There is medium light to heavy actions, with lure casting weights 5g to 40g depending on the model, so you can fish a great range of metals, hardbody and soft plastic lures.

Shimano Vanford Compact 4000 XG Spinning Fishing Reel

The all new Vanford is designed to become the ultimate finesse fishing reel with a super-fast start up. Replacing the iconic Stradic Ci4+, this reel is equipped with a range of technology upgrades that sets the Vanford apart. Still drawing upon a lightweight Ci4+ body construction, the new MGL rotor makes the reel 48% lighter to turn when compared to a standard rotor design. Micromodule Gear II and Silent Drive is featured in the new Vanford and the Hagane Gear has been upgraded for added strength. X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation. This has increased the durability of the Vanford’s roller clutch and line roller to an IPX8 standard. By incorporating the new Long Stroke Spool design, casting performance has also been improved.
