The Kilwell Gladiator IGFA swordfish rod is constructed with a proven Kilwell NZ E-Glass blank and
holds up to extreme saltwater fishing.
Fitted with Aftco® SHD braid proof roller guides and a detachable mid length aluminium bent butt,
this rod offers versatility and provides leverage for fighting huge fish.
The blank is lighter in the tip than conventional rods in this class, so perfect for use with braid and also gives
better bite detection on daytime swords, but there is still plenty of power in the butt section.
Available in 24-37kg and 37-60kg line weights.

* AFTCO Wind-on guides and tip
* Detachable aluminium bent butt – AUB2S2C-B
* Ethylene Vinyl Acetate EVA foregrips
* Underbound and overbound guides
* Length: 1.69m

This rod is the result of years of customers’ experience and preferences rolled into a rod that
will fit any boat or style of deep dropping. When you’re not on the broadbill, the rod is also effective
for trolling for marlin or big tuna, especially when using braid.

This rod can be retro fitted with Aftco® SHD Wind-on Roller Swivel Top.
