Serious gear for seriously big fish
The Shimano Tiagra 80 WA Stand Up Big Game Combo
strikes the perfect balance between top end performance and
durability. Renowned for a drag system that just won’t give in, the
Shimano Tiagra reel is designed to target Striped Marlin, Tuna,
Blue and Black Marlin – making it the reel of choice for any
serious Big Game angler. Plus the matching Tiagra Rod provides all
the power and comfort you need for those long, tough fights.
The Reel
The Shimano Tiagra 80 WA Game Reel is geared
specifically to handle not only the fish themselves but also the
harsh saltwater environment. Perfect for large Striped, Blue or
Black Marlin it features a slightly darker, heavier gold anodising,
a newly designed Septon power handle and a drilled drag quadrant
with a drag curve 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 which, as you may 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 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 80 WA, you’ll need nothing else…
The Rod
The Shimano Tiagra Stand Up Rod is light, strong
and incredibly responsive, perfect for Marlin, Tuna or Sharks. Made
of a glass/graphite weave the Shimano Tiagra Rods
give you a rod with unprecedented power and reliability. Finished
off with Fuji & Aftco components you are guaranteed a rod that is
up to task of landing seriously big fish. With a metallic gold,
silver and black thread they look just as good as they perform.
