Nexave FL 2500 HG

The Nexave series sees some very welcome upgrades that help build upon its quality reputation with those looking for a great reel on a budget. The new range of Nexave reels feature Shimano's Propulsion Line Management System which makes them suitable for fishing with both mono and braided line. The specially designed angled spool lip allows the line to freely leave the spool in smaller coils with less friction to make longer and more accurate casts. This series also features Shimano's G-Free Body technology which benefits anglers with less fatigue and enhanced casting comfort by shifting the centre of gravity closer to the angler's hand. Whether it is your first fish your after or your next PB, the Nexave range has a reel for you.

Introducing an exciting series to just land in our store, the Shimano Ruvalus series of high performance graphite spinning rods! Hot Tackle worked closely with the experts at Shimano Australia during the development of this epic series of rods, going back and forth with their team until we perfected the actions of each model. The range covers all the light estuary and light offshore fishing scenarios you’ll encounter as well as being perfectly adept in the freshwater space as well. Featuring as many key Shimano technologies as we could manage to squeeze in whilst still hitting the targeted price-point, the team here at Hot Tackle are super stoked with how they come up cosmetically but also – and most importantly – how they feel in the hand and out on the water!

Kairiki 6lb 150m - Green

Kairiki 8 from Shimano adopts the new VT construction braiding technology. Featuring 8 carriers and incorporating premium Japanese manufacturing, the new tight weave VT construction is created through applying high tension at opposing directions during the braiding process. During the VT Construction Method, the braid fibre is woven evenly at all angles – resulting in a smoother finish and reduced diameter. The casting performance of the line is significantly improved as the smooth finish creates less friction through the guides and cast noise is also reduced. The tight weave achieves enhanced sensitivity achieved through the lower stretch. These attributes make Kairiki 8 an excellent choice when high sensitivity and castability are all required to give that extra edge against your target species.
