Patriot Vertical Specialist up to 90g and Shimano Curado 150 / 151 DC - a combo designed for precise fishing of zander and pike. A great package that combines one of the best zander and pike rods with one of the most legendary reels of all time. Team Lowrance used Patriot Specialist rods extensively for both zander and pike in the PredatorMasters 2023 program. Shimano reels, on the other hand, were heavily used by Team Westin, and this Shimano Curado DC is a slightly more refined reel compared to the traditional Shimano Curado, so with this package, you can excellently vertical fish as well as cast precisely thanks to the amazing DC operation of the reel. No line tangles and a rod that won't run out of power even with a big pike or zander!
The package includes approximately 120m of yellow 0.23mm braided line pre-spooled
Patriot Vertical Specialist - is a modern rod designed in Finland for vertical fishing. The rod has the power to fish with larger vertical jigs without compromising the rod's flexibility in fighting situations. The rear handle is shaped flat so that the rod fits more comfortably against the angler's hand. As with all rods in the Patriot Specialist series - the price-quality ratio is unbeatable!
Shimano Curado DC - is perhaps the world's most well-known low-profile baitcasting reel. A legend that is still, after all these years, one of the world's best baitcasting reels.
The casting brake is controlled (demonstration video below) by a digital microprocessor, ensuring that you won't tangle your cast even with the smallest lures. With I-DC4, the reel continuously monitors the spool, up to 1000x per second, and adjusts the spool continuously during the cast. You can also easily adjust your reel's cast with pre-programmed casting programs. Shimano's extremely fine bearings ensure maximum feel and distance for your cast. The spool is very light, MagnumLite Spool, so the weight of the spool does not burden the cast but allows you to cast accurately and far.
The reel is especially designed for perch and zander fishing, with jigs, spoons, and plugs. Across the pond and in Japan, Shimano Curado DC is one of the most respected baitcasting reels designed for bass fishing and is one of the most popular reels for crankbait fishing. It is also very well suited for trout river fishing with us.
