SHIMANO TEKOTA 6000HG A & VORTEX 6'10" COMBO

The Tekota A lineup now features CoreProtect for increased corrosion protection and a Cross Carbon Drag for increased stopping power when targeting hard-fighting fish.

Designed for New Zealand fishing conditions, the Vortex series delivers cost-efficient performance without compromising on strength or sensitivity. At its core, the Power-Carbon composite blank combines glass and graphite, creating the perfect balance of durability, sensitivity, and fast blank recovery. This versatile construction is complemented by Titanium Oxide Seaguides for smooth line management, comfortable EVA grips, a Shimano graphite reel seat, and a rubber gimbal knock for added stability. Reliable, durable, and purpose-built, the Vortex is ready for your next fishing adventure.
