Shimano Tiagra 50 WLRSA TCurve Stand-up Bent Butt Game Combo 5ft 8in 24kg 2pc

Ultimate game combo

When you match a reel featuring the market’s thickest one-piece frame to a rod that’s the industry’s best, even the hardest-fighting fish don’t stand a chance.
The Shimano Tiagra 50 WLRSA TCurve Stand-up Bent Butt Game Combo is built to last those long and tough battles.
So go after that fish of a lifetime when you have this ultimate game combo in your hands.

The Reel
The Shimano Tiagra 50 WLRSA Game Reel is geared specifically to handle not only the fish themselves but also the harsh saltwater environment. Perfectly suited for chasing down Stripeys, this rod features a slightly darker, heavier gold anodising, a newly designed Septon power handle and a drilled drag quadrant with a drag curve that’s better suited to New Zealand conditions.

The heavier anodising makes these reels even more resistant to the ravages of saltwater, 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 hands which, as you may well know, can be a problem during the course of a long hard-fought fight.

Another major rule of game fishing is that the leverage you create in a chair or stand-up harness with a big marlin, tuna or shark on the other end of the line places a HUGE amount of pressure on the tackle. That’s exactly why Shimano has made the Tiagra’s one piece, machine-cut frame from a 7mm aluminium tube (the thickest on the market). Team that up with the A-RB bearings, heavy duty stainless steel gears, a two speed shifting mechanism and you are guaranteed a reel that is as serious at catching fish as you are. Choose the Shimano Tiagra 50 WA, you’ll need nothing else.

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 diecast 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.

The Rod
You deserve nothing less than the industry’s best game fishing rod.
The Shimano TCurve Tiagra Stand-up Bent Butt Game Rod makes use of Shimano’s exclusive TCurve technology so you get to enjoy a rod that’s light, strong, and incredibly responsive.
This rod features the durable and lightweight TC4 blank construction, which ensures powerful performance both when you’re casting and fighting fish.
Its grip section sports specially designed custom shaped EVA moulded grips for comfort and grip so you can take on battling fish all day.
The rod’s AFTCO guides and reel seat are designed and built to provide consistently flawless performance over a lifetime of fishing.

TC4 Construction
Shimano has engineered TC4 construction to create an extremely durable yet light rod with a crisp feel.
