Ranked as one of the best and most reliable Big Game reels in the world
by many anglers, the
Shimano Tiagra is not short of anything
a serious angler could wish for. They are all build over a strong one-piece
aluminum frame, have a lever drag system with a adjustable pre-set finger screw,
an easy accessible gear changing mechanism and a loud (89decibel) strike alarm.
The
Tiagra 130 features a very low gear ratio of only 1,15:1 in low gear
making it possible to lift even the biggest fish out of the depths,
while the high gear ratio of 2,2:1 offers the advantage of keeping line tension
on a charging fish. The
Tiagra 30 and 50 models are also available
in a wide version with increased maximum drag setting (30 WLRS/50 WLRS)
making is possible to fish a heavy line class on relatively small equipment.
