MAF Biosecurity personnel need any freshwater fishing devices such as your Simms Waders and Boots (note felt soled boots are not allowed to be used here in NZ) which is not entirely dry (throughout) to be dealt with, despite whether it has actually been cleaned up prior to concerning New Zealand. Treatment for some fishing products takes some time and will more than likely occur beyond the airport. If it is not practical for the owner to await treatment to be finished, they will need to make their own plans to gather the product or have it delivered to their New Zealand, or house address.
Rods and Reels
Generally, a 9′, 6wt rod is what we utilize here in NZ as it loads well and has the capability to cast properly on smaller sized to medium sized water. Its likewise able to manage the wind and cast the frequently larger, much heavier flies that we tend to utilize here throughout the season.
