The ALL NEW GEAPER now has 2-reel seat heights – Medium height, and low (South African style). In addition, the rod sections have alignment marks, EVA grip above the reel seat for comfort and grip, and a high-quality rod bag.
G-REAPER is a no-nonsense skull drag it to shore drone fishing rod. Constructed from high modulus carbon fibre, this three-piece rod has an overall length of 10’6”. Designed primarily for drone fishing, it also makes a fantastic shark fishing rod and rock fishing rod. As tough and powerful as this rod is, it casts very well and can handle some big baits and weight.
OANNES drone fishing rods use the best quality and highest-grade fittings on the market and are backed by a 1 year limited warranty.
G-REAPER is one nasty piece of work – A massively powerful rod designed for those adventurous types who like to hunt monsters – G-REAPER will Submit and Conquer that monster. If, however while fishing for a target species you unintentionally hook a monster, G-REAPER provides the strength to get that pest to shore and off your hook post-haste – getting your bait back in the drop zone faster.
G-REAPER is a three-section rod constructed from quality Ultra High Modulus carbon fibre with reinforced carbon power joints. Measuring in at an overall length of 10’6”, it is rated at 80-130lbs and has an XH action with fast taper. G-REAPER features quality Fuji K Series guide frames, providing outstanding strength, corrosion resistance, lightness and outstanding anti-line tangle properties. The quality guide frames are fitted with Fuji alconite guide rings and a Fuji SIC rod tip guide ring, chosen for their excellent heat dissipation and low abrasion properties.
G-REAPER has excellent casting ability for those times the wind picks up and grounds the drone.
G-REAPER features a FUJI Graphite reel seat, aluminium gimbal end with plastic cap, quality non-slip EVA grips for comfort and feel and is dressed in Black with silver trim – it simply oozes grimness.

1 Year Limited Warranty
OANNES fishing rods are constructed with ‘Skill and Care’ and are extensively tested to ensure that each product not only meets – but exceeds your expectations.
Your OANNES fishing rod comes with a One Year Limited Warranty against defects in materials and/or workmanship for consumer use only, excluding rental or commercial use. For all Australian consumers our warranty is not intended to limit a consumer’s rights under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.
The warranty period is effective for all new rods from the date the product is purchased from an authorised OANNES dealer, to the original purchaser, for a period of 12 months within Australia and New Zealand.
This limited warranty does not cover any claims arising from normal wear and tear, accident, improper/misuse of the product, negligence or lack of adherence to the recommended servicing/maintenance for the product. If OANNES determines that the product has been modified or unauthorised alterations have been made to the rod, this warranty will be considered void. To the maximum extent permitted by law, this warranty does not cover claims or liability for any incidental or consequential damages arising from, or in connection to the product.
To make a claim under this warranty please visit www.oannes.com.au and complete the warranty claim form and accept the warranty/service conditions. Please print the form generated and send it with the rod, along with this warranty card, receipt of purchase (At your expense) to the service address listed on the claim form. Please ensure the rod is correctly packaged within the original case and it is packaged sufficiently to reduce any damage during transit. It is advised you adequately insure the goods and retain all shipping documents.
OANNES Rod Maintenance and Safety
Do not exceed the recommend line rating for your rod.
Never ‘High Stick’ your rod – Over bending your rod when fighting or landing a fish is commonly referred to high sticking. Always maintain a maximum load angle of 45 – 60 degrees when fighting a fish and these parameters should never be exceeded.
If your lure or rig becomes snagged always keep the rod pointed towards the snag and walk backwards keeping tension on the line. More than likely you will lose your tackle, but you cannot break your rod with this procedure.
Like a diamond, carbon fibre rods are incredibly strong but can be brittle – Be careful not to drop or hit them on hard surfaces, keep away from fans and don’t close car doors on them.
Fishing rods are designed to evenly distribute the stress over the entire rod blank – Never place your hand high above the reel seat to assist the rod, as this will actually increase stress and cause the rod to break. Always maintain a maximum load angle of 45 – 60 degrees and never high stick it.
Graphite carbon rods are excellent conductors of electricity – Never use a carbon fibre fishing rod during an electrical storm or near power lines.
After using your fishing rod in a saltwater environment, always wash your rod well with fresh clean water as soon as you can and pay particular attention to the guide rings and reel seat. You can apply light reel grease to on the guide metal – but use it sparingly.
Use caution when transporting your rod and always disassemble it and place the rod in the rod case during transport.
Use caution when winding your line in and never pull the swivel through the guide tip as this will damage guide ring.

Fantastic rod! I find the small butt version to be extremely comfortable. Have it paired with my tiagra 50w running 100lb braid. Works an absolute treat. Highly recommend

The Oannes G-Reaper is the heaviest rated rod I own (80 – 130lbs) It is my heavy game and shark rod. I love the shear strength it possess when you hold it, being able to put everything into skull dragging big sharks towards the shore. A solid 10.6ft long but a three piece rod makes it perfect for long distance travel and keeps it safe during transit. I have my G-Reaper matched up with a Shimano Tyrnos 50 and Oannes Skyline 100lb braid. The rod has easily hauled in same decent sharks for me up to 3 metres, I’m looking forward to testing it on an absolute monster. An absolute weapon of a rod, the decals are wicked and the quality is amazing. The G-Reapers are awesome bits of gear 💯

The Oannes g-reaper is a beast of a rod. So much backbone on such a thin diameter rod. Paired with my Avet TRX 50W and 130lb braid, this rod will land most sharks in the ocean with ease. Definitely one of the best 3 piece heavy duty rods I’ve used.

This rod is my favorite out of the Oannes series, the strength and backbone of this rod is truly amazing. I have a Okuma Makira 50WSea bolted to it running 100lb braid 350lb topshot.
I have landed so many sharks with this rod, to date the biggest fish landed on this rod was a thick 2.9m Bronze Whaler that would have been pushing close to 250kg/300kg mark.
Absolute beast of a stick can not fault it, 100% my go to when targeting 3m flatties off the beach. The extra height helps my lines out of the breakers which assists in making sure my baits/sinkers hold tight. absolutely unbreakable IMO

Beast of a rod. Got mine paired up with Shimano Tyrnos 50 two speed reel with 100Lb braid. Great looking and has more than enough guts for dropping big baits out and retrieving big stuff from a long way out. Great company to deal with.
