Nomura Never Crack Lure Rod – Built to Tackle Powerful Predators
When you're fishing for large predators such as pike, having confidence in your tackle is essential.
Pike are capable of explosive strikes, sudden changes of direction and powerful lunges, particularly when hooked close to the bank or boat. The Nomura Never Crack series has been developed with durability in mind, making it a strong choice for anglers looking for a dependable predator fishing rod.
Constructed from carbon, the Never Crack range combines a robust design with the responsiveness needed for modern lure fishing.
Described by Nomura as almost indestructible, these rods are designed to cope with demanding conditions, whether you're repeatedly casting artificial lures, working larger predator baits or battling a powerful fish.
Carbon Construction for Strength and Control
The carbon construction provides the backbone needed when fishing for hard-fighting predators while maintaining the responsiveness required to work artificial lures effectively.
When targeting pike, this is particularly important. Anglers need sufficient power to set the hooks securely, control a fish during the fight and steer it away from weed beds, submerged branches and other obstacles.
Braid-Compatible SIC Guides
Modern predator anglers frequently favour braided mainline because of its low stretch and excellent sensitivity.
The Nomura Never Crack features SIC rod guides suitable for use with braided fishing line, making it an excellent match for modern lure fishing setups.
High-Grip EVA Handle
The Never Crack features a high-grip EVA handle designed to provide a secure, comfortable hold throughout a fishing session.
This is particularly useful during the colder autumn and winter months, when wet conditions and repeated casting can make handling tackle more challenging.
The EVA handle also offers practical durability for anglers regularly fishing from muddy banks, boats, rocky shorelines and other demanding environments.
Saltwater-Resistant Components
Although particularly well suited to freshwater predator fishing, the Nomura Never Crack rod also features components specifically designed to withstand saltwater environments.
This makes the rod a versatile choice for anglers who enjoy targeting freshwater predators such as pike and perch, while also occasionally heading to the coast in search of bass and other saltwater species.
Nomura Kanji FW 4000 Spinning Reel – Smooth, Reliable Performance
A quality lure fishing rod deserves a capable reel, and the Nomura Kanji FW 4000 provides an impressive selection of features designed to deliver smooth, dependable performance.
With its striking metallic blue spool and modern gunmetal finish, the Kanji 4000 looks the part, but its appeal goes far beyond appearance.
Featuring 12 ball bearings, a precision drag system, one-way clutch and computer-balanced rotor, this reel has been designed to offer smooth operation and reliable performance across a wide range of fishing applications.
Precision Drag System
When a large pike strikes close to the bank or makes a sudden run during the fight, having a properly adjusted drag system is extremely important.
The Kanji 4000 features a precision drag system, allowing anglers to adjust the resistance applied as line is taken from the spool.
A correctly set drag helps protect the line and tackle while providing controlled resistance when playing powerful fish.
5.1:1 Gear Ratio
The Kanji FW 4000 features a 5.1:1 gear ratio, offering a versatile retrieve suitable for a wide range of fishing applications.
For predator anglers, this provides flexibility when working soft plastic lures, hard baits and other artificial presentations that require different retrieve speeds.
