This 24kg tuna & marlin combo is a great budget/entry-level option for any fisho planning on trolling for either species, or live baiting for marlin. For its price tag, this combo is hard to beat, the reels are sturdy enough to handle these hard-fighting fish and the just the same. Nothing too fancy going on with the features and design of the rods or reels, but they're fit for purpose, have all the features needed, and will certainly land you the fish you're looking for! The Buku IGFA Class Mono is a high-quality game fishing monofilament line that's thinner than other lines on the market, meaning you can fit much more onto the reel. The reel will fit 1000m of 24kg Buku IGFA, which is a whole lot of line and still tournament legal.
Combo Includes:
- Shimano TLD 2 Speed 50LRSA Reel (RRP $589)
- Shimano Tag'em Rollered 24kg Bent Butt Rod (RRP $369)
- 1000m Buku IGFA Class Mono Line (colour of your choosing) (RRP $60)
If you would like Momoi instead, we can replace the Buku line with approx. 750m of Momoi Hi-Catch IGFA mono for an extra $30.

Buku IGFA Class Mono Line 1000m
Buku IGFA Tournament Mono Line is made for anglers fishing in competitions and/or those chasing record-breaking fish to be recognised by the International Game Fish Association. It's a high-quality monofilament line that's super tough, abrasion resistant and has superior knot strength. The unique feature of the Buku IGFA Class Mono Line is its diameter - it's much thinner than typical game lines. This gives both trophy hunters and tournament game fisherman a whole lot more line on their reel, which means much more time to stop the fish. To put it in perspective, Buku 37kg is about the same diameter as regular IGFA 24kg line, and Buku 24kg is similar to regular IGFA 15kg etc. It comes in three colours, two hi-vis (kryptonite & agent orange) and one low-vis (stealth).
Stealth (clear blue) - designed for use when fish are warier than usual.
Agent Orange (fluoro orange) - designed to be as easy as possible to see, which is important when running multiple lines off the boat. Perfectly offset by Buku Kryptonite to make it easier to distinguish lines in a spread.
Kryptonite (fluoro green) - designed to be as easy as possible to see, which is important when running multiple lines off the boat. Perfectly offset by Buku Agent Orange to make it easier to distinguish lines in a spread.
