A Winston 10 weight BIIMx rod is matched with an Abel Super 11 reel. It doesn't get any better than this. The BIIMx is one of the most powerful rods you can find. Fast action but super light in the hand and surprisingly easy to cast. You can cast this rod all day without getting fatigued. Other rod options include the Sage Xi3 10 weight, Sage One 10 weight. Winston BIIMx 9 weight and the Sage One 9 weight. Sage's Xi3 is fabulous casting and fish-fighting rod and the One is also a very good king rod.
The Abel Super 11 is one of the finest reels made today. It is the caliber of reel that you will hand down to the next generation. The Super 11 is beautifully machined and features an ingeniously simple drag that will never wear out. Other options include the Nautilus NV 10/11, Nautilus CCF 10 and galvan torque 10. The Nautilus is a fantastic reel with a totally sealed drag system and bombproof construction. The galvan torque 10 is a long time favorite of ours that has performed well in the field for years.
In this package we recommend the Rio Versi-Tip fly line. It comes with five interchangeable tips that range from full floating to fast sinking. The Versi-Tip will allow you to reach the kings no matter what depth they are holding in. If you prefer a single piece line, we offer the option of substituting a Scientific Angler Wet Tip IV sink tip (medium fast sink rate), Wet Tip V (fast sink rate), rio outbound Type III sink tip (38' sinking head, great for estuary fishing,) Scientific Angler Sharksking Magnum Taper floating line or rio clouser floating fly line.
This package ships for free in the U.S. and both rod and reel have an Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.
