Whether you’re working towards the next tournament or just fishing recreationally, the TackleDirect Platinum Hook Tournament Billfish / Saragosa SW BFC Combos take the guesswork out of matching one of industry’s finest big game reels with a high-performance and technique specific rod. Both rod and reel have been designed and tested by some of the finest anglers around the world and are ready to perform. No longer will anglers be second guessing themselves or their tackle, instead they will be ready to conquer one of the most iconic and premier gamefish across the world.

TackleDirect Platinum Hook Tournament Billfish Spinning Rods:

The durable E-Glass blanks utilized in these rods feature a softer, more parabolic action that leads to a higher percentage of quality hook sets and less pulled hooks when targeting sailfish with circle hooks. The Fuji K Frame Guides are an ideal choice for lighter monofilament lines and braided lines, ensuring smooth line dispersion. These rods are perfect for anglers that prefer to use spinning tackle when targeting sailfish, dolphin, and even blackfin tuna. You will be hard pressed to find better rods for casting live baits and artificials towards floating debris for bull dolphin.

Features:

• E-Glass Blank
• Fuji K Frame Guides

Shimano SRG14SWBFCXGA Saragosa SW BFC Spinning Reel:

Purpose-built to serve the dedicated billfish angler, the Shimano Saragosa SW BFC Spinning Reel is the only spinning reel to reach for when big checks and trophy billfish are on the line. The Saragosa BFC is built specifically for things like tossing live baits at billfish tailing down sea or cutting through bait balls on the surface. Featuring a lower and more gradual drag curve than the battle-tested Saragosa SW A, the Saragosa BFC is optimized for fighting sailfish, white marlin, and other billfish varieties on lighter, and more often monofilament line. By combining the 6.2:1 gear ratio with an enlarged spool, the Saragosa BFC achieves a blazing fast 56in of line retrieved per handle turn, which is exactly what billfish anglers need to stay tight when trying to keep up with some of the fastest swimming fish on earth. To ensure smooth and consistent drag performance during long battles, Shimano’s Rigid Support Drag enhances spool support by reducing play and deflection of the spool. Shimano technologies that anglers have come to depend to protect their reels from the elements such as X-Shield and X-Protect keep water away from key internal components to preserve smoothness and operational proficiency for many seasons out on the water.

Features:

• Hagane Body
• Rigid Support Drag
• X-Protect
• X-Shield
• Cross-Carbon Drag
