The Big Six is back in 2024, and it’s going to be the biggest and best yet! In October this year, eight lucky winners will be heading to Fiordland for seven days of hunting and fishing. Their goal: to score as many points as possible by catching the biggest fish, tracking down the most species, grabbing the biggest cray, and bringing a deer onboard.

For the last decade, Rheem have hosted the Big 6 challenge over 48-hours, with the winners needing to catch two saltwater fish, two freshwater fish, and two game animals in the allotted time. Now situated in the deep south, and with an extra few days up their sleeves, the competitors are going to have even more opportunity to bring home a trophy catch. The twist this year is that the competition will now be run on a points basis, with the participants earning points based on their respective catches. The competitor with the most points at the end of the week will be crowned the 2024 Big Six champion – but regardless of who wins, all eight participants will have enjoyed a week in some of the most beautiful scenery NZ has to offer, so there’s plenty to get excited about!

To enter, all you need to do is purchase Rheem product from a participating store and then complete the online entry form over at rheem.co.nz/big6. The promotion runs from 1 February to 31 March 2024 and the first 1,000 people to enter will also grab a custom Rheem light cap, so make sure you get in quick. Get these dates in the diary, and don’t miss out on your chance of taking on the Big 6 Challenge 2024!
