The Facts: The Shimano Tiagra reels have strong, torque-resistant frames that are machined from 7mm aluminum pipe. They have 2 main gears, 2 pinion gears, 4 ball bearings (Ti130 has 6) and a main shaft made of stainless steel and feature oil-filled cylinder drag mechanism. The shifter gears are always meshed-shift with the push of a button. The Ti20 has a narrow spool for faster line pickup and less “wobble” on the wind.

No surprise really when you consider its array of features including one piece machined Aluminium frame, Cold Forged aluminium spool, A-RB ball bearings, 2-speed gears, Twin Disk Drag system (on 16 & 130 size), innovative hydrothermal drag system and much, much more. Tiagra is a reel built to comfortably cope with the biggest fish on earth.
The Hydrothermal Drag System is famed for precise and reliable operation. Variable clicker tones inform you about the line’s speed as it leaves the reel, helping you judge your strike to perfection. Tiagra is the only choice if you want to go state-of-the-art.
Obviously Tiagra is the perfect choice for the ever increasing number of British anglers who travel the globe in search of the very best rod and line action, while closer to home Tiagra is undoubtedly the finest big conger, shark and skate reel available for those anglers who fish around the UK.
