Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Backbone OH Boat Combo 6ft 6in 10-15kg 1pc

Perfect balance between power and sensitivity

The Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Backbone OH Boat Combo is a great rod and reel combo for targetting trophy worthy fish. Featuring Shimano’s versatile and powerful Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel and the tough yet sensitive Backbone Overhead rod, taking on fish is what this combo’s all about. The reel’s well-crafted machinery complements the rod’s reliably tough performance.

The Reel
Tekota’s legacy of durability continues with the fully redesigned Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel. Vast improvements have been made, including Coreprotect water resist to increase corrosion resistance, an easy to replace anti-fogging lens (LC models), loud clicker and new ergonomic S-Compact body design.

Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transfrorms your actions directly into cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

S-ARB
These bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing’s rotation.

CoreProtect
Total protection. The concept of CoreProtect is simple – to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key ares of the reel that require protection: the roller clutch, body, and line roller.

Cross Carbon Drag
This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

The Rod
The Shimano Backbone Overhead Boat Rod continues Shimano’s dedication to producing superb quality rods at a genuinely reasonable price. It’s a heavy duty rod built on Carbon blanks, finished with top quality SEA guides and bindings. Solid and reliable.
