Information
This setup is suitable for those who want to fish specifically for large and strong fish, both along the Norwegian coast and in tropical waters. It can be used for active sea fishing for large saithe and cod where conditions are right, but is particularly useful in tropical fishing for species such as GT (giant trevally) and tuna. Here you get a powerful setup for fishing with large poppers and stickbaits, where both casting, reeling in and control while driving the fish place high demands on the equipment.
Höwk Bullfighter 8.3' 80–150 g is a powerful rod developed for popping and fishing with stickbaits for large predatory fish. With a length of 8 feet and 3 inches and a stated casting weight of 80–150 grams, it is adapted to large surface baits and active fishing where you need to work the bait effectively and handle hard baits. The rod is particularly relevant for tropical saltwater fishing, but can also be interesting for other forms of heavy predator fishing from land or boat, depending on the conditions.
Together with the Shimano Saragosa SW A 14000 XG you get a powerful reel setup for demanding saltwater fishing. The Saragosa series is designed for heavy saltwater fishing, and the 14000 XG model has a gear ratio of 6.2:1, a stated maximum drag force of 15 kg with a weight of around 700 grams. It takes in approximately 134 cm of line per crank turn, which is useful when you are actively fishing with surface baits and need a quick reel-in.
The combination is primarily aimed at those who want to fish for big, strong fish with heavy bites and need a reel with high casting speed and solid braking power. A setup for those who want to be ready for demanding saltwater fishing, from Norwegian coastal areas to tropical destinations.
