Through the years, Shimano has produced some of the very best big game reels and you can add the new Tyrnos II series to the list of reels that won?t fail you. These big game trolling reels are built with a die-cast aluminum frame for enhanced strength and durability. While the graphite side plates reduce the reels overall weight, the combination of metals keeps moving parts aligned for increased efficiency and longevity. The reel features a four Anti-Rust Bearings? stainless steel ball bearings system and oversized gears for power, while maintaining a high-speed 5.0:1 gear ratio. When trolling, the open top cross bar design provides better bait or lure control, the ratcheting drag lever eliminates movements caused by boat vibration and the loud clicker has enough tension to hold large baits. The oversized shank handle provides extra torque and comfort which gives you the upper hand when battling big fish. Line recovery in inches per handle turn.
