Raider Extreme Rod Series

Shimano is the strongest brand in fishing. The reputation is built on innovation and quality. A Shimano reel does exactly what it is designed to do, year after year.

Such is the demand for Shimano tackle in New Zealand, that these days Shimano make rods specifically for New Zealand conditions. One of the most popular of these is the Shimano Raider series, now in its second generation (Raider ‘Extreme'). Raider rods have been matched to Shimano's most proven reels to make up some awesome combos. Shimano Raider Extreme Rods are continually refined to best suit New Zealand conditions. Actions are improved, components are upgraded and new rods added to the range to suit new fishing techniques and to match new reel technology. You would expect to pay a premium for these, but at Hunting & Fishing New Zealand we have used our buying power to pretty much match or beat Shimano combos with ordinary rods.

For your reference we have listed the Raider and Raider Extreme rods in the new 2010 range, and summarised some of our most popular Raider combos priced under $500-00 – these all qualify for the Southern Cross member discount promotion running through to 31 January 2011.
