Meet the Kilwell Slider Combo Kazumi 701J, TYA5R—a purpose-built pairing for slider and kabura jigging that delivers precision, power, and all-day comfort on NZ’s snapper grounds. Designed around the Japanese kabura/sliders market, this combo is tuned to drop lures with pinpoint accuracy and put big fish on the side of your boat.

Why this combo stands out

• High‑modulus nano blank in a 2.1m (7'0") single-piece design provides light weight without sacrificing strength, helping you cast further and feel the lightest takes.
• Fast taper promotes quicker, cleaner hooksets when the bite arrives, so you don’t miss the hit on fast jig retrieves.
• 30–150g lure range with line rating up to 15kg (or PE3), making it versatile enough for a wide selection of sliders and jigs in varying conditions.
• Removable sliding butt ball protects the blank when stowed in rod holders and adds convenience during long sessions.
• Fuji Alconite guides (K-series on the spin version) for durability and smoother line flow, reducing friction on windy days or longer casts.
• Overhead or spin configuration—a flexible setup to suit your preferred casting style and fishing location.

Reel powerhouse: TICA Victor TYA5R

• Hi‑speed 6.1:1 gearing retrieves 93 cm of line per handle turn, fueling rapid follow‑ups on a bite.
• 8 sealed RRB stainless bearings with rust resistance deliver smooth performance in saltwater.
• Magnetic cast control helps prevent overruns during long casts, so you can cover more water with confidence.
• Thumb bar spool release and a one‑way clutch make casting effortless, while the spool re‑engages with a simple turn of the handle.
• Powerful, corrosion‑resistant construction with forged aluminum frame and CNC machined main components for lasting durability.
• Max drag 15 kg with high‑heat carbon washers ensures strong fish can be controlled when the bite goes deep.
• Long line capacity—PE2 up to 550 m, PE2.5 to 450 m, PE3 to 370 m—giving you plenty of line on longer fights or deeper water.
• Rugged reliability with a 10‑year warranty for lasting peace of mind.

Real-world benefits and use cases

• Ideal for anglers chasing snapper in NZ waters who rely on precise lure drops and quick hooksets. The combo’s sensitivity helps you detect the softest taps, while the reel’s power manages big fish when they bite.
• Perfect for slider and kabura jigging in both shallow and deeper reefs. The 30–150g range covers a broad spectrum of jig types, enabling effective presentations in calm bays or choppier days.
• All-day comfort comes from a thoughtfully balanced setup—the light, responsive rod reduces fatigue, and the ergonomic grips keep you in control from first cast to last lift.
• Versatile for both overhead casting and spinning setups, letting you tailor your approach to conditions and target species without changing rigs.
• Durable, low‑maintenance performance means you can fish more and service less, with corrosion‑resistant components designed to withstand saltwater use.

Who is this ideal for?

• Serious jig anglers who rotate between slider and kabura presentations and want a reliable, high‑performance combo.
• Fishers targeting snapper in NZ or similar offshore environments who value sensitivity, casting distance, and strong stopping power.
• Both seasoned anglers seeking a durable, one‑piece rod and a high‑quality reel, and dedicated beginners ready to invest in a setup that grows with their skills.
