Built on a fibreglass blank with a nice and tippy action paired with plenty of power in the butt, this rod loads up smoothly for casting distance with bait rigs whilst delivering the soft tip needed to detect subtle bites and keep tension on light-biting fish without ripping the hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rod features quality Fuji reel seat and Fuji CCMNOG guides, all fully under and overbound in the traditional Australian custom rod style, delivering a finish that holds up to years of saltwater abuse. The Low Mount configuration positions the reel seat low on the rod butt, making it purpose-built for sidecast and Alvey reels where casting comfort and natural rod balance depend on a low reel position. This is the definitive setup for chasing traditional Aussie surf and estuary species using the sidecast reel technique that generations of Queensland anglers have grown up with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurpose-built for chasing popular Aussie surf and estuary species including bream, tailor, whiting, flathead, mulloway, dart, and blackfish across the beaches of K'gari, the Fraser Coast, and inshore Queensland waters. Whether soaking pillies in a beach gutter for tailor, casting worms for whiting on the flats, or working blackfish on the headlands, the K'gari Special delivers the proven Aussie surf rod feel that's earned Gary Howard rods their devoted following among serious surf anglers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGary Howard K'gari Special Low Mount Surf Rod - Hand-built Aussie fibreglass surf rod for sidecast and Alvey reel fishing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Mount sidecast configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Reel seat positioned low on the butt for optimal balance and casting comfort with sidecast and Alvey reels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFibreglass blank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Nice and tippy action with plenty of power in the butt for casting distance and detecting subtle bites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuji CCMNOG guides and reel seat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Premium Fuji components deliver reliable line management and secure reel mounting for years of saltwater use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully under and overbound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Traditional Australian custom rod finish that holds up to years of hard use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for Aussie surf species\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Purpose-designed by Gary Howard for bream, tailor, whiting, flathead, mulloway, dart, and blackfish across K'gari and the Fraser Coast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAustralian custom build\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Hand-built in Australia by renowned Queensland rod maker with decades of surf fishing knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gary Howard","offers":[{"title":"12ft 1in 5-7kg 2Pce","offer_id":49114123632875,"sku":"140092","price":239.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/5822\/6667\/files\/Untitleddesign-2026-07-29T080130.348.png?v=1785276096","url":"https:\/\/tackleworldbundy.com.au\/products\/gary-howard-kgari-special-low-mount-surf-rod","provider":"Tackle World Bundaberg","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
