Meet the Kilwell Slider Combo Kazumi 701J, TC300 — a purpose-built pairing designed for sliders and kabura jigs, crafted to tackle NZ’s snapper season with precision and reliability. This combo blends a purpose‑built rod with a high‑performance reel to deliver sensitive bites, long casts, and dependable stopping power when the bite comes alive.

Rod: Kazumi Pro 7′ Overhead — precision, sensitivity, and casting control

• 1‑piece 7′ (2.1m) overhead rod built on a nano‑tech, high‑modulus graphite blank for lightness and strength, reducing fatigue during all‑day sessions.
• 2.1m nano technology blank provides exceptional sensitivity so you feel even the lightest take, while having the power to subdue the biggest snapper.
• 30–150g lure range with line rating up to 15kg (or PE #1.0–#3.0 braided lines), giving you a wide jigging window from light slow‑jigs to heavier lures.
• Fast taper for quicker, more decisive hooksets in strong offshore bites.
• Fuji Alconite guides (K‑series on the spin version) for durability and smooth line flow, plus a removable sliding “Butt Ball” to protect the blank when resting in a rod holder.
• Graphite reel seat and ergonomically shaped slimline EVA foam grips for a comfortable, confident grip all day long.
• Versatile configuration available in both overhead and spin setups to suit your preferred jigging style.

Reel: Titan‑claw TC300 — fast, powerful, and ready for the bite

• Hi‑speed 6.1:1 retrieve delivering up to 75 cm per handle turn, so you wind in quickly between jigging bursts or via quick casts.
• One‑piece aluminium CNC machined frame with forged brass alloy main gear for durability and longevity in demanding saltwater use.
• 7 sealed stainless bearings with rust‑resistant coating plus a one‑way anti‑reverse roller bearing for instant hook‑ups.
• Carbon drag system with high‑heat resistance and a max 15 kg drag setting to control big fish after the take.
• Spool release thumb bar for easy casting and quick spool engagement, plus a centrifugal cast control to prevent overruns.
• Weight 370 g and a rugged, corrosion‑resistant design with titanium coated line guide inserts.
• 7 bearings, quick‑swap capabilities and a loud line out alarm to wake you on the bite.
• Capacity — 280 m mono 6 kg or 450 m PE #3.0, providing ample line for deep drops and long casts.
