Shimano Tiagra 50 A Backbone Fully Rollered Game Combo 5ft 7in 24kg 1pc

Serious gear for serious fish

Trusted the world over, the Shimano Tiagra 50 A Backbone Fully Rollered 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 for targetting big fish making it the reel of choice for any serious Big Game angler. It's paired with the rock-hard Backbone rod that's ready to take the beating. With this you'll be ready to get everything from Striped Marlin, Tuna, Blue and Black Marlin.

The Reel
The Shimano Tiagra 50 A Reel is a powerful reel that’s geared specifically to handle not only fish themselves but also NZ’s harsh saltwater environment. Perfectly suited for chasing down pelagic monsters, this reel 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 this reel 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. Its rubberised ‘tackiness’ combats sweaty hands which, as you may well know, can be a problem during the course of an extended battle.

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 in the market). Team that up with A-RB bearings, heavy-duty stainless steel gear and a two-speed shifting mechanism and you're guaranteed a reel that’s as serious at catching fish as you are. With the Shimano Tiagra 50 A Reel, you’ll need nothing more. So grab one today and get ready for the best fishing experience of your life!

The Rod
The Shimano Backbone Fully Rollered Game Rod continues Shimano's dedication to producing superb quality rods at a genuinely reasonable price. It's a heavy duty rod built on Carbon blanks, finished with top quality SEA guides and bindings. Solid and reliable.
