If you’re a Shimano lover looking for a high-quality estuary fishing combo that will allow you to target species like jewfish, monster flathead, barra, mangrove jack, and other bigger estuary-based fish, this one’s for you. It’s also great for those using heavier sinkers when bait fishing too. The combo allows you to use soft plastics, hard body lures, or bait. The Anarchy 702MH Rod is a crisp and incredibly nice 4-8kg rod, which is perfect for targeting these bigger and harder-fighting estuary species including smaller estuary kingfish as well. It’s nicely matched with a super smooth and durable Nasci FC 4000XG Reel, along with the perfect braid for many styles of estuary fishing. The Fluidcast X8 Camo Braid is a step above other braids on the market, it’s a super smooth and thin 8-carrier braid that has additional camo colouring every 10-20cm that allows the line to blend into the water and against the bottom for extra stealth.

• Shimano Nasci FC 4000 XG Reel (RRP $209)
• Shimano Anarchy 702MH 4-8kg Rod (RRP $249)
• Approx. 150m of 20lb Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 Camo Braid (RRP $39.99)

Shimano Nasci FC 4000 XG Reel

The new Shimano Nasci FC reel now incorporates a range of upgrades over its previous model that allow you to step up your fishing game. The cold-forged Hagane Gear technology provides unparalleled gear durability to ensure the reel performs time and time again even under load. Silent Drive – the same technology found in Shimano’s Stella range – now features in the Shimano Nasci FC as well for increased smoothness and performance. This is due to finer gear tolerances and minimised spacing between key internal areas, which reduces vibration and improves the longevity of the reel. Suitable in both freshwater and inshore saltwater environments, the Shimano Nasci FC spinning reels now also feature CoreProtect water-repellent technology, which increases durability and water resistance without creating a heavy winding feeling. The ball bearing count has been also increased to 5+1 for increased smoothness, and a new screw-in handle design has been adopted to not only compliment the new stunning silver cosmetics, but also greatly improve the strength of the reel under load by minimising handle play.

Features:

• Hagane Gear
• XShip
• Silent Drive
• CoreProtect
• G-Free Body
• AR-C Spool

Specs:

• Max Drag – 11kg
• Bearings – 5+1
• Weight – 285g
• Gear Ratio – 6.2:1
• Retrieve per crank – 99cm

Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 Camo Braid

The Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 Camo Braid is an 8-carrier braid that changes colour from a light sandy colour to a greenish colour and then a brown colour every 10-20cm so fish can’t fix on a solid colour. Designed for use in freshwater environments like creeks, estuaries and rivers, this braid is a terrific low-vis option. Being an 8-carrier braid it’s also incredibly smooth, round and thin, so it casts extremely well and runs freely through the guides even under tension. Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 Camo Braid also incorporates ‘HS’ technology. The ‘HS’ means ‘high stitches’, which comes from a new manufacturing technique that applies both heat & tension resulting in a smoother, thinner braid with a much more consistent breaking strain and better knot strength. Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 Camo Braid is also impregnated with Teflon to minimise wear and friction – which means better casts – plus stops water soaking to keep the line at its maximum performance level for longer.If you’re chasing big barra up north, inland cod, flathead, bream, or a host of other estuary species and you’re looking for a high-performance braid, the Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 Camo Braid is a fantastic option for you.

Features:

• 8-Carrier Braid
• Camouflage colouring that changes every 10-20cm to blend into the water
• Teflon coated for extra smoothness and less water absorption
• Incredibly thin and smooth
• Great for casting
