Shimano Charter Special TR2000 Sniper Overhead Boat Combo 6ft 6in 8-15kg 1pc

A good all round fishing rod and reel combo

Designed with Kiwi saltwater fishos in mind, the versatile Shimano Charter Special TR2000 Sniper Overhead Boat Combo can cover different fishing style such as saltwater casting from the shore or boat or straylining lightly weighted baits down a berley slick intended for XOS Snapper. It’s also great for catching Kingies.

The Reel
There are many anglers who yearn for a powerful saltwater reel but still prefer the convenience of an easy to operate drag mechanism and a reliable levelwind. It is for these anglers that Shimano built the Shimano Charter Special TR2000 Lever Drag Reel. Designed to take a beating, this reel offers plenty of performance and easy to use features all with a very reasonable price tag. From a massive, heavy-duty levelwind mechanism that just will not jam and that spreads line evenly across the aluminium spool, to the light but strong XT7 body, this reel is up to coping with the worst treatment that inexperienced fishos can dish out. For more experienced anglers then, this reel will continue to provide faultless service for many years to come.

The Charter Special may not be as flashy or feature-rich as some of the other reels in the Shimano lineup, but it continues to be popular for saltwater anglers looking for a straightforward to operate and trustworthy levelwind reel.

The Rod
The Shimano Sniper Overhead Rod has a solid glass tip construction inserted into a tubular fibreglass blank. Meaning you get a rod that doesn’t lack strength but offers great sensitivity. The fibreglass blank is durable and can take the rigours of fish after fish in those hot sessions. This rod is capable of targeting a vast range of species with everything from Snapper to Kingfish both off the boat and rocks.
