I was recently commissioned to do a complete Saltwater Kit for Simon Fairhurst.


The Kit Includes the following:

1 x "Plano Type" Rod Tube
1 x Big Pit Reel Carry Case
2 x Shimano Stella 20 000 Reels loaded with 80lb Tuffline Braid
1 x Calstar GF770XH 6'6" Jigging Stick
1 x 10' Purglass Popping Stick in 3-4oz
2 x Sage Xi3 12wt 9' Fly Rods
1 x Shilton SL7 Reel loaded with Airflo Tropical Di7 Fast Sink Line
1 x Shilton SL7 Spare Spool loaded with Airflo Tropical Intermediate
2 x Custom Rod Tubes for the Sages



Purglas Surf Popper

Candy Apple Red Purglas 10' 3-4oz
Fuji K Series Guides in Gunsmoke with SiC Rings
Fuji Deluxe Spinning Seat
Quick Clip Hook Keeper













Calstar Jigging Stick 

Calstar GF770XXH Blank

Nylon Butt with Dual Slot Aluminium Gimball






Apologies if you see some dust on the rods. I cleaned it, but going in and out of the rod bags, they tend to pick up dust.

  1. Hi Koos. Where could I source spare fighting butts for fly rods. Do you have stock and am I able to purchase. Best regards. Gareth-John Keough. Pietermaritzburg

  2. Gareth-John,

    Thank you for your request. Unfortunately I do not have any stock on these. I make them for each and every build. Each rod and reelseat combo differs from the next. Send me a mail to kooseckard@gmail.com and I will see if I can assist you in any way.

    Best Regards

    Koos
