Engineered for offshore trolling, the Kilwell Shotgun Rigger 2.5m Straight Black is a purpose-built centre-pole outrigging solution that keeps your lures out front and well clear of the boat’s wake. This is a dedicated centre-pole rigger designed to sit in the middle of your vessel, delivering a wide, clean spread with minimal tangling.

• 1-piece construction with stiff action for predictable, straight-line lure tracking and reliable performance when the trolling gets serious.
• 2.5m reach provides extended lure distance from the stern, maximizing coverage and reducing lure interference with your hull.
• Centre pole design allows precise placement of the rigger to run a lure far back in your spread, ideal for covering more water and targeting big fish.
• Durabutt base ensures the pole sits upright in an existing rod holder or rocket launcher, even in choppy sea conditions.
• Non-corrosive black finish stands up to salt spray and sun exposure, keeping the look and performance premium over time.
• Pre-rigged with tip pulley and cleat for quick, controlled deployment and secure line management right out of the box.
• Sold per unit and made in New Zealand, backed by Kilwell’s Limited Lifetime Warranty for lasting peace of mind.
• Cord rigging, AFTCO release clips, and bungy cords are sold separately, offering flexible upgrade options to tailor your rigging system.

Who is this ideal for? anglers chasing big game who want a robust, center-mounted outrigging solution that holds up under demanding saltwater use. It’s a strong upgrade from lighter, multi-piece alternatives, delivering improved rigidity, easier setup, and a maintenance-friendly design that reduces flex under load.

Specific use cases include tuna, marlin, and wahoo trolling where you need long-range lure placement without compromising line control. The Shotgun Rigger’s upright, single-piece construction minimizes vibration and stray movement, helping your spread stay cohesive even in rough water. If your current setup relies on stern-mounted or off-center rigs, this centre rigger can unlock a broader, more effective lure arrangement with less interference and tangling.

Why choose Kilwell? This rigger represents the trusted durability and engineering you expect from New Zealand-made gear. The one-piece design eliminates joints that can loosen over time, the durabutt base maintains consistent vertical alignment, and the lifetime warranty adds confidence for seasons to come. It’s built to pair seamlessly with additional rigging options—cord rigging and AFTCO components sold separately—so you can customize your system to your boat and fishing style.
