Superior strength and reliability
The
Shimano SpeedMaster LD 16 Backbone 2-Speed Travel Boat Combo is perfect for fishos who want a
heavy-duty rod and reel combo. The solid Backbone Rod
complements the ultra strong and smooth SpeedMaster reel. Perfect
for the demanding fisho who needs a travel boat combo that can keep
up!
The Reel
The new
Shimano SpeedMaster LD II 16 2-Speed Overhead
Reel has all the capabilities of the Talica II 2-Speed
reel, without the premium price tag. The Speed Master LD II looks
and feels tough and is built as a powerhouse reel, capable of
tacking many tasks. If you need a reel that's capable of dropping
livebaits for big Kings, can swing a jig and then switch to ledger
rig fishing. Then the Speed Master LD could be what you're looking
for.
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.
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.
HAGANE Body
Hagane Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The
body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body
flexing. The result transforms the anglers actions directly into
cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
The Rod
The
Shimano Backbone Overhead Travel Boat 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.
