Kilwell NZ Shotgun Rigger 3.5m Tele Center Pole For Extended Lure Spread And Clean Troll Spreads Made In New Zealand

Introducing the Kilwell NZ Shotgun Rigger 3.5m 3 Piece Tele — a purpose-built center-pole rigger designed to extend your lure far behind the boat, giving your spread more reach and cleaner presentation while trolling.

Designed to mount in the center of your rocket launcher, this rigger runs a lure well past your stern, keeping your bait spread organized and reducing back-structure tangles. It’s available as a straight pole with a gimbal knock or with a stainless bent butt to fit into your holder. The choice between straight or bent butt depends on your cockpit layout and rigging preferences, so you can tailor the setup to your boat.

Key considerations for a smooth, productive rigging experience:

• The shotgun rigger should sit higher than your outrigger poles to prevent tangles when outriggers are laid down in the fishing position.
• Using a tag line can help the fishing line exit your rod tip at a sensible angle for a cleaner take-off and better control during the first moments of the fight.
• The rigger arrives with hardware pre-mounted and ready for rigging, with rigging kits and accessories sold separately for a customized build.

The Kilwell NZ Shotgun Rigger 3.5m 3 Piece Tele is part of a versatile lineup that includes 2.5m Straight Black, 3.5m Straight 12K, and 2.7m Bent Base Black variants, plus additional 3.5m options such as 3 Piece Tele and Straight ST3K models. This 3.5m three-piece telescoping design provides compact storage when not deployed and full reach when extended, making it ideal for boats with limited cockpit space or for anglers who want quick, on-demand adjustments to their lure setup.

Why this model stands out:

• 3.5m length with 3-piece Tele design for flexible deployment and easy stowage.
• Centre-pole shotgun configuration mounted in the rocket launcher, optimizing lure reach and spread integrity.
• Straight with gimbal knock or stainless bent butt options to fit your holder and riding style.
• Higher positioning than outriggers to minimize tangling during transitions, with a practical approach to line angle using optional tag lines.
• Hardware included for instant rigging on arrival, with Kilwell Limited Lifetime Warranty for long-term confidence.
• In-store availability at Rosebank Road, so you can inspect, compare, and ship quickly to your boat.

Whether you’re chasing distant marlin, tuna, or mahi, this shotgun rigger delivers predictable line management and extended lure reach, helping you achieve more bites per trip. For a tailored setup, pair the 3.5m 3 Piece Tele with the appropriate straight or bent butt variant and compatible rigging accessories to suit your boat’s mount and cockpit layout.
