RYVL ASURA GT & GT16000 SWR Topwater Rod & Reel Combo + FREE Hard Rod Case
Product Summary
The RYVL ASURA GT 2442H & ULTRA GT16000 SWR Combo is a premium heavy-duty offshore topwater fishing package designed for anglers targeting Giant Trevally (GT), Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Kingfish, Amberjack and other powerful pelagic predators.
After analysing discussions across experienced GT fishing communities, several challenges appear repeatedly:
• Heavy rods that quickly cause shoulder fatigue after hours of casting large poppers
• Reels that lose smoothness after repeated saltwater exposure
• Rod blanks that twist under heavy lure loads, reducing casting distance and lure control
• Insufficient lifting power when fish dive towards coral reefs
• The inconvenience of transporting premium tackle safely during travel
This complete offshore combo solves those real-world problems by combining the RYVL ASURA GT 2442H Topwater Rod, the ULTRA GT16000 SWR CNC Saltwater Spinning Reel, and the RYVL Ultra Armor Hard Shell Rod Case into one professional offshore fishing system.
Featuring Spiral X & Hi-Power X carbon construction, a full CNC A6061-T6 aluminium reel with a waterproof 30kg carbon drag system, premium Fuji components and a lightweight semi-rigid hard shell rod case, this combo delivers exceptional casting performance, lifting power, durability and transport protection.
Designed in New Zealand for serious offshore anglers who demand premium performance without compromise.
Brand Story
Big GTs and powerful tuna expose weaknesses faster than almost any other style of fishing.
Hours of casting oversized poppers, aggressive strikes close to reef structure and prolonged fights under heavy drag place enormous stress on every piece of equipment.
Rather than selecting individual components separately, RYVL developed this combo as a complete offshore system where the rod, reel and protection case complement one another.
From casting performance to fish control and safe transport, every component has been selected to work together for demanding offshore conditions.
Designed in New Zealand.
Built for anglers who chase the fish of a lifetime.
