Shimano Tiagra The Facts

Since its introduction over ten years ago Tiagra has become a worldwide market leader. 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.

Shimano Tiagra Specifications

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.

Tiagra reels feature an innovative hydrothermal drag system that virtually eliminates the drag setting variances that affect today’s big game reels. They combine technology with years of expertise to deliver a reel that is truly superior. The new Tiagra 12, 16, 20, 30, 30 wlrs, 50, 50w, 50wrls, 80, and 130 finally bring the strength and reliability of a solid aluminum frame to members of the Tiagra family. Designed to fish heavier line right out of the box, these reels are perfectly suited to long range fishing.

Shimano Tiagra  Featured Highlights

A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings)
Our specially treated stainless steel ball bearings are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.

Forged Aluminum Spool
These spools are made from cold forged aluminum then machined to provide an extremely dense, solid construction that can withstand the heavy drag pressures the reels can apply.

Chrome Plated Sideplate Screws
The sideplate screws are chrome plated to prevent corrosion.

2-Speed Gearing
Uses 2 sets of gears that are always engaged for quick, easy gear ratio changes even under load.

Ratcheting Drag Lever
eliminates the chance of the drag lever backing off due to boat vibration and allows for more precise adjustment.

Twin Disk Drag System
uses two drag disks and a floating drag plate to effectively double the drag surface which provides a wide range of settings and increased durability (TI16 & TI130A only).

Clicker
The clicker increases the tension on freespool and activates a clicking alarm when a fish bites.Septon
The handle grip material, Septon, is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet (not available on TI12 & TI16).

Permalube
This lubrication improves freespool while maintaining protection and durability of moving parts.

Metal Series
With the Metal Series, metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.

Machined Aluminum Frame
These frames are machined from solid aluminum pipestock, which makes them incredibly rigid and strong for ultra tight tolerances.

Offset Ergonomic Power Grip
The power grip is offset on multiple axes to allow natural hand, arm and wrist angles to improve comfort and power (not available on (TI12 & TI16).

Ergonomic Power Handle
Comfortable, non-slip grip provides maximum comfort and torque (TI12 & TI16).

For comfort and power try the Shimano Tiagra.
