Meet the Kilwell Game Combo TICKG 24-37kg 50WTS—a purpose-built offshore setup designed to take on big pelagic challenges and rugged saltwater bottom trips. This hand-picked pairing pairs the rugged Tica Team 50WTS 2-speed reel with the NZ-proven TICKG2437 stand-up rod, delivering a balanced, high-performance platform for serious game fishing.

Why this combo stands out

• One-piece frame strength: The reel’s spool and side plate are carved from solid T6061 aircraft aluminium and gold anodised, delivering exceptional rigidity and superb corrosion resistance in harsh saltwater.
• Dual drag plates for smoother power: Drag plates on either side of the spool not only smooth the initial bite but also help dissipate heat during long runs, preserving line integrity and fight consistency.
• Extra-loud line-out alarm: A clear, attention-grabbing alert keeps you on track even when you’re focused on the bite or steering a long, powerful run.
• Six sealed bearings for reliability: Precision stainless steel bearings reduce friction and resist corrosion, ensuring smooth retrieves season after season.
• Versatile 2-speed performance: Ratios of 3.2:1 and 1.4:1 give you heavy-cranking power for deep-water horses and fast retrieves when you need to drive line quickly.
• Impressive capacity and drag: 850 yards of 50 lb mono capacity with a maximum drag of 18 kg gives you the reach and stopping power for big-game species from tuna to marlin and beyond.
• Built for the salt, tested in NZ waters: The reel’s construction and materials are chosen for durability in demanding offshore environments, while the rod is tuned for New Zealand conditions.

Rod and reel in one ready-to-fish package

The Kilwell Game Combo pairs the Tica Team 50WTS (2-Speed) reel with the Tica TICKG2437 Stand Up Game Rod, a compact 5’6" 1-piece blank rated 24–37 kg. The rod features a Roller Tip-Top and a detachable butt, making it comfortable for stand-up fighting and easy transport. It’s crafted from a durable blend of E-glass infused with graphite under high pressure, delivering proven performance in demanding offshore scenarios.

Perfect for real-world fishing scenarios

• Summer trolling: Target tuna and marlin with steady drag control and long-distance line management. The 850 yd capacity keeps you in the strike zone longer.
• Winter deep-water bottom fishing: When you switch to braid, the powerful 18 kg drag and robust build handle heavy bottom species like hapuka and kingfish.
• Stand-up battles: The 5’6" rod length and stand-up design pair with the 50WTS for a balanced, efficient fight, reducing fatigue on long battles.

Warranty and care for long-lasting performance

Tica reels in this combo carry a 10-year warranty against faulty materials or workmanship, underscoring the confidence in their construction. To keep performance at peak, rinse with fresh water after saltwater use, check the drag and bearings periodically, and store in a dry, cool place away from direct sun.

Who this is for

Ideal for offshore anglers who demand a rugged, ready-to-fight setup for big-game species, charter-sled operations, or serious saltwater enthusiasts targeting tuna, marlin, hapuka, and kingfish. If you want a balanced, purpose-built stand-up game combo that delivers strength, reliability, and real-world versatility, the Kilwell Game Combo TICKG 24-37kg 50WTS is designed for you.
