Product Description
Shimano Tiagra game reels set the gold standard for offshore fishing, engineered to conquer formidable species such as marlin, tuna, and broadbill swordfish in New Zealand waters and beyond. Crafted with robust aluminium construction, these reels deliver exceptional strength, durability, and unwavering reliability for the most demanding fishing conditions. The distinctive gold finish not only provides a premium aesthetic but also features heavier anodising for enhanced resistance to saltwater corrosion, ensuring longevity in harsh marine environments.
Anglers will appreciate the advanced features designed for battling large game fish. The powerful drag system, with its click stop drag quadrant, allows for precise adjustments, maintaining consistent pressure during intense fights. A two-speed shifting mechanism, featuring continuously meshed pinion and drive gears, provides seamless gear changes, offering versatility and leverage when it matters most.
Key Features:
- Heavier gold anodising for enhanced resistance to saltwater corrosion.
- Click stop drag quadrant allows for precise drag adjustments during intense fights, ensuring consistent pressure.
- Counterbalanced handle design ensures the handle falls easily to hand when striking a fish, making winding smoother during prolonged battles.
- Rubberised handle provides improved grip and comfort, especially when hands are wet.
- Aluminium Cold Forged Spool offers increased strength and exceptional durability.
- Equipped with Anti-Rust Bearings (A-RB), which are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.
- Features a 7mm thick one-piece machine-cut aluminium frame for superior rigidity and strength, providing unparalleled structural integrity.
- Heavy-duty stainless steel gears ensure reliable performance and longevity, even under extreme pressure.
- Two-speed shifting mechanism with continuously meshed pinion and drive gears for seamless gear changes and optimal control.
