I would go to to the VFS board

and any questions about NZ there. You'll find several Kiwis and plenty of folks who've been there.

New Zealand fishing gear is basically the same as what we have here. Only a little less expensive here at home, based on both my friends returning from a stellar trip there and admitting prices have gone up for imported gear. They do have some real nice reels with sheep's wool drag systems.
Thanks....for the info. I don't fish with expensive equipment. My current rod is a Griggs for $75. It just replaced a Sage rod from 1979. I just thought it would be great to have some memories of the trip. So if I could purchase equipment for about that price range it probably will be cheaper than hauling stuff down. I am more interested in still water stuff......so I don't know if tubes, etc. are that common in New Zealand.
