What Makes This Combo Ideal for Taupō Trout
Precision Sensitivity & Hook Control
The Kohga X’s high-sensitivity tip and lightweight blank let you feel even the slightest takes from wary trout -perfect when working small slow pitch jigs, micro-sliders, or soft plastics around drop-offs, weed edges, and points. Couple that with the Saltist X 150 BC’s silky smooth UTD drag, and you stay connected from the first nibble through to a landing.
Lightweight, Balanced Performance
This setup is designed to reduce fatigue during long early-morning sessions on Lake Taupō or afternoons on local rivers, allowing you to maintain technique without strain.
