Shimano Tiagra 50 WLRSA Reel

Shimano Tiagra 50 WLRSA Reel

The Shimano Tiagra ‘A’ series has been the bench mark for game reels for a number of years. The range feature a slightly darker, heavier gold anodising, a drilled drag quadrant with a drag curve better suited to New Zealand conditions, and a new design rubberised power handle.

The heavier anodising makes these reels even more resistant to the ravages of salt water, while the click stop drag quadrant permits more precise drag adjustments. The counterbalanced handle falls easily to hand when striking a fish and makes winding easier during the course of a long fight. It’s rubberised ‘tackiness’ combats sweaty palms, which can be a problem during the course of a long fight, especially when fishing more tropical waters.

Another major rule of game fishing is that the leverage created by an angler in a chair or stand-up harness with a big marlin, tuna or shark on the end of the line places an enormous amount of pressure on the tackle. That’s why Tiagra’s one piece frame is machine-cut from an aluminium tube to a thickness of 7mm (the thickest on the market). It’s also why Tiagra has A-RB bearings, heavy-duty stainless steel gears, and a two speed shifting mechanism where the pinion and drive gears are continuously meshed.

SHIMANO HYDROTHERMAL DRAG SYSTEM
As we all know, one of the fundamental aspects of this sport is that the fish we seek are capable of fighting for hours, repeatedly making long runs that can really heat up a drag.
Heat build-up can cause the settings to change, leading to insufficient pressure being put on a fish or, at worst, a broken line. The hydrothermal drag system automatically compensates for any heat build-up, thereby maintaining the original drag setting.

SHIMANO METAL SERIES
Metal frames have the strength to handle the stresses from battling large saltwater fish, and keep moving parts in precise alignment. They also feature the latest anodising techniques for beautiful ,corrosion resistant finishes.

SHIMANO 2-SPEED GEARING
Shifting mechanism designed for quick and easy gear changes. The low gear ratio is easily selected by pushing the button on the base of the handle. To return to the normal gear ratio, simply depress the lever on the handle shank, Often copied but never bettered.

SHIMANO A-RB BEARING
Anti-rust bearings. These stainless steel ball bearings have undergone a unique manufacturing process so they will last up to ten times longer than standard stainless steel bearings when used in saltwater environments.

SHIMANO COLD FORGED ALUMINUM SPOOL
These spools provide increased strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

SHIMANO TEN YEAR REEL WARRANTY
Shimano New Zealand provides a TEN YEAR WARRANTY on all Shimano fishing reels, against defects in materials and/or faulty workmanship.
