This incredible big game fishing reel, that has became a worldwide market leader, has too many features to explain! It's the solid construction, in combination with easy to use features, that is loved by the most demanding big game fishermen.
For most anglers, the full power of a Shimano Tiagra Big Game reel is only experienced on a charter boat. But for those with the confidence and skill to fish independently, owning a Tiagra is a reality. Recognised worldwide by professional skippers and elite game anglers, Tiagra’s reputation is built on strength, reliability, and unmatched performance.
Like a classic car or luxury watch, a Tiagra is a lifetime investment - engineered to tackle the biggest, fastest, and most aggressive fish in the ocean. Its hydrothermal drag system and pre-lubricated drag washer resist saltwater corrosion, keeping you in complete control during every battle.
The single-piece aero aluminium frame is precision-machined to prevent distortion under extreme pressure, while the seamless high/low gear switch allows effortless adaptation during the fight. Interlocking stainless steel gears deliver constant power, ensuring one gear only disengages when the other fully engages.
Built to endure the punishing forces of both fish and elements, the Tiagra A reel is the ultimate choice for serious offshore anglers pursuing the world’s most challenging game fish.
Shimano Tiagra Fishing Reel Features
- Hagane Body: The body is produced from highrigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.
- ARB: The secret of longterm rotation performance is to prevent any form of rust, corrosion or oxidisation of the bearings, which can cause a reduction in the reels performance over time. Shimano ARB bearings are the answer to this and are fitted as standard on most Shimano freshwater reels and on all Shimano saltwater models.
- Waterproof Drag: Using special protection gaskets, the drag is protected against the intrusion of water for more consistent drag performance.
- Cold Forged Aluminium: Cold Forged aluminium is used for some 'round' reels, fly reels and is also used for many types of spool. Made from one single piece of aluminium Cold Forging produces great strength.
- Machined Aluminium: Machined aluminum is used for the very best multiplier reels where precision, strength and lightness are very important.
- Clicker System: Increases the tension on Freespool and activates a clicking alarm when a fish bites.
- 2-Speed Gearing: This shifting mechanism is designed so that gearing changes are quick and easy, even when fighting a fish. The low gear ratio used for highpower retrieves is selected by pushing the button on the base of the handle. Return to the highspeed 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.
