With a hydrothermal drag and pre-lubricated drag washer impervious to salt water, Tiagra Reels remain in perfect control of the biggest, fastest game fish on the planet. The single-piece aircraft aluminium frame is machine cut so it won’t distort under the pressure of a big fish, the heavy-duty stainless steel two-speed gears continuously mesh, and at 89 dB, the ratchet is loud enough to wake the sleepiest crew.
Shimano Metal Series
The Metal construction showcased in some of Shimano's finest reels now appears throughout their line of Metal Series products. Metal frames not only keep moving parts in precise alignment, they also feature the use of the latest anodising, plating and painting techniques for beautiful and durable finishes.
Anti-Rust Bearings
A-RB are made of stainless steel that has been through the A-RB process. At least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Easy maintenance no-shield design allows for easy flushing of debris and easy lubrication. Increased bearing speed-no shield design and lighter viscosity lubrication reduce friction and allow the bearing to spin faster and longer.
Shimano Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide strength and durability over die-cast aluminium or graphite spools.
2 Speed Gearing
This mechanism is designed so that gear changes are quick and easy, even when fighting a fish. The low gear ratio used for high-power retrieves is selected by pushing the button on the base of the handle. Return to the high-speed ratio by sliding the release button along the handle shank. By using two sets of gears, the drive and pinion gears are always engaged. There is no gear meshing during the shift.
