Description
This custom softbait rod NZ anglers trust is handcrafted from 24T carbon, built for targeting snapper and kahawai with precision.
This 7’ one-piece K-Labs Softbait Rod is engineered from 24T carbon for the perfect blend of crisp responsiveness and backbone authority. Designed for anglers who demand accuracy, sensitivity, and reliable stopping power, it excels when targeting snapper, kahawai, and other aggressive inshore predators.
The rod features a stealth matte black blank with a hand-finished high-gloss custom butt section wrapped in 3K twill weave carbon fiber — a pattern known for its diagonal checkerboard aesthetic and high strength-to-weight ratio. The glossy finish enhances both visual impact and functional grip transition. Rebated HD EVA grips ensure a low-profile, ergonomic hold — built to last under pressure without sacrificing comfort or control.
Fitted with a Fuji DPSD luxury reel seat and a full set of Fuji BC K-series guides, this rod offers faultless hardware in a configuration tuned for modern softbait presentations. Triple-layered crystal clear epoxy wraps protect every guide and thread detail, delivering long-term durability and an immaculate showroom finish.
Each K-Labs rod is handcrafted in New Zealand for anglers who demand fine design, honest power, and lifetime performance.
