Turn the quietest hours of dusk into your most productive bite, with the Kilwell Surf Combo LED1403, ES8000. This night-time-ready setup blends advanced bite indication, rugged beach durability, and a balanced reel-and-rod system designed for confident surfcasting as the sun fades.

Live bite indication right at the tip — the Kilwell LED surfcasting rod features a built-in LED light inside the tip section. When a nibble or strike comes, the glow makes the bite unmistakable, so you don’t miss subtle takes in low light while you focus on positioning and technique. The light is powered by a replaceable E27A (or A27 equivalent) battery that fits securely into the tip base and is protected from spray and grit.

Safety and visibility for night fishing — the butt section of the rod is finished with reflective paint that literally glows when headlights or a torch beam hits it. That extra glow adds a layer of safety when you’re moving along the shore after dark or sharing the beach with other anglers and vehicles.

All-in-one combo, built for reliability

• Rod: Kilwell LED1403SU, a 14' (4.2m) 3-piece surf rod with a versatile 55–140 g casting range, designed to cover a broad spectrum of beach fishing conditions—from steady drainaway currents to stronger shorelines.
• Reel: Kilwell Black Shadow 380 with 3 ball bearings, ambidextrous handle, and an alloy spool for smooth retrieves. Pre-spooled with 20 lb nylon, ready to cast.
• Gear ratio & capacity: 4.1:1 retrieve ratio, with a substantial line capacity of 275 yd of 20 lb nylon, giving you longer casts and peace of mind in bigger-water scenarios.
• Power and durability: a purpose-built combination designed for beach conditions, with components chosen to handle salt spray and sand while delivering consistent performance.
• Warranty: Kilwell Lifetime Warranty on the overall combo, reflecting confidence in long-term performance and value.

What makes this combo stand out? It’s not just a rod with a light—it's a purpose-built night-surfing tool. The integrated bite indicator eliminates guesswork after dark, while the protective tip battery setup keeps essential electronics safeguarded in exposed environments. The reflective butt adds a practical safety feature that pays off on busy beaches or during dusk launches.

Ideal for anglers who love evening or night-time surfcasting and want a ready-to-go package right out of the box. If you fish at beaches where fish start feeding after sundown, or you’re experimenting with light-colour baits and longer drifts, this combo gives you a clear edge in bite detection and casting versatility.

How to use and care tips

• Keep the tip light fresh and replace the E27A battery as needed; the battery lives in the tip base and is protected from the elements by the design.
• Rinse the rod and reel with fresh water after a beach session to minimize salt buildup; dry thoroughly before storage.
• Inspect the reflective butt under headlights or a torch—keep the surface clean to maintain visibility.

With the Kilwell Surf Combo LED1403, ES8000 you’re choosing a purpose-built platform crafted for productive, low-light beach fishing—combining a responsive bite-indicator system, rugged beach-tuned components, and a reliable reel that keeps you casting further and more confidently when the water warms up after dark.
