Description
This 7’ one piece custom softbait rod is built on a 6–10kg 24T carbon blank, offering a crisp, responsive action with the backbone to stop hard-running snapper, kahawai, and other inshore predators. The medium-fast taper delivers long, accurate casts and precise lure control — ideal for New Zealand’s coastal fishing styles.
Fitted with Fuji CC K-series guides and a high-quality K-Labs reel seat, precisely positioned 300mm from the butt. This setup centres the reel at approximately 360mm, creating a balanced feel in hand and enhancing casting control.
A three silver winding checks adds a subtle flash, while silver and black thread work enhances the blank with a restrained, high-detail finish.
The matte black finish runs end to end — no gloss, no glare — delivering a low-reflection look that’s both tactical and refined. A laser-embossed EVA foregrip, featuring the K-Labs logo, adds subtle texture, grip, and branding without distraction. A discreet hook keeper keeps your rig secure between casts.
At the base, a Precision-Fit EVA Rear Grip offers soft-touch comfort, fatigue-free handling, and practical on-deck performance — staying quiet on hard surfaces and won’t scratch or mark gelcoat, paint, or alloy floors.
Built in Waikato, New Zealand — designed for anglers who value clean design, sharp performance, and dependable gear.
