Meet the Kilwell International 60kg Roller DSB Chair Rod — a purpose-built powerhouse for serious big-game anglers chasing Giant NZ West Coast Tuna. This isn't a rod for casual days on the water; it’s engineered for the raw power and demanding conditions of offshore fishing where every lift, every turn of the handle, and every pull on the line counts.

Designed to deliver the lifting muscle you need when the bite is on and the seas are unrelenting, this 60kg chair rod features a composite blank that’s overwrapped to maximize lifting power while keeping the rod balanced and controllable under heavy pressure. It’s paired with heavy-duty alloy removable butts and AFTCO Big Foot guides and tip-tops, engineered to handle heavy line and leaders with confidence. A detachable straight butt comes standard, with Bent Butt available on request, so you can tailor the rig to your preferred grip and fighting style.

Roller technology is at the heart of this rod’s performance. AFTCO roller guides turn with the line, dramatically reducing friction and line wear while keeping your line at its rated strength longer — up to 30% in practical use. The AFTCOTE TEFLON dry-film lubricated bearings further minimize wear, ensuring smoother retrieves and longer service life in harsh saltwater environments. Nylon-locked screws provide vibration-free, shockproof lock that won’t work loose on those epic, elbow-deep retrieves.

Comfort and control are built in with Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) foam grips, recognized for their durability and saltwater resilience. This gives you reliable grip when hands are slick with spray or sweat, helping you maintain line control under pressure during long battles with big game fish.

Crafted in New Zealand by Kilwell Rodcraft, this 60kg chair rod carries the Kilwell Lifetime Warranty, reflecting the brand’s commitment to reliability in extreme conditions. It’s a trusted choice for anglers who demand extraordinary lifting power, durable build, and proven offshore performance.

Ideal for: serious big-game hunters targeting Giant West Coast Tuna, offshore anglers who push tackle to the limit, and any saltwater fisherman who values line protection, durability, and the ability to customize their rod setup for bent or straight butt preferences.
