GT/Big Kingfish Stickbait Combo - Topwater 808 / Certate SW 18000

A must have combo for any sportfishing angler. Whether you are casting for kingfish close to the headlands, for mackerel on the inshore reefs or the plethora of reef species on the inside of the Great Barrier Reef - this combo will have you covered! The Trophy Hunter Topwater 808 boasts amazing lifting power whilst being sensitive enough to cast small poppers and stickbaits when necessary to fool the wariest of fish. An incredibly comfortable blank even when loaded to its maximum capability - this rod will do everything a high end boutique rod will do without the $1000+ price tag also maintaining the highest level componentry. 

Multiple reels options available from high to mid range reels - as used by the team at Fishing Station.
