You're off shore over the right mark on the right tide. Suddenly you're into a big fish and it's going deep. This would be a horrible time for your reel to seize, drag to stick or gears to jam. But if it's a Shimano multiplier that scenario is unlikely to arise. Made from the quality materials to exacting standards, Shimano multipliers are built to last...and last...and last.
TIAGRA
Since its introduction over ten years ago Tiagra has become a worldwide market leader. It is the solid construction in combination with easy to use features that is so loved by even the most demanding fishermen. Amongst its many features it boasts a one piece machined Aluminium frame, cold forged aluminium spool, A-RB ball bearings, 2-speed gears, Twin Disk Drag system (on 16 & 130 size), new designed Septon grip and much, much more. Tiagra is a reel built to comfortably cope with the biggest fish on earth, and to release them after the catch with a smile. 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.
TORSA
Torsa can be summed up as speed, power, durability and castability. When developing the Torsa Shimano engineers succeeded in designing different types of drag cams, which can be put on the reel to create different drag curves. This system looks set to revolutionise the way we play fish, especially on light, sporting tackle. Eight drag cams are available, all with very different characteristics. The extremely strong frame and spool are created by using diff erent techniques; cold forging and machining of the finest kinds of aluminium, while the High Efficiency Gears are the biggest Shimano have ever designed for fishing tackle. The gears are housed in a low-based gearbox, creating an excellent balance that offers you more control. In size Torsa is a small reel that in reality can cope with really big fish.
TYRNOS
Tyrnos features a gear ratio of 5.0:1 and is built for power thanks to its 4 A-RB bearings, oversized gears, die-cast machined aluminium handle and ergonomic rubber power grip. As part of the metal series of reels,the sturdy frame keeps all moving parts in precise alignment to ensure long-term efficiency. The Tyrnos is ideal for numerous saltwater angling applications.
TYRNOS 2-SPEED
A metal design construction is the base of all Tyrnos reels, creating stability and durability that ensures that all parts are perfectly aligned for a smooth movement and long lifetime. The ability to be able to swiftly change from high to low gear and then back again is a massive advantage in many offshore angling situations, while the advantages of a silky smooth yet powerful lever drag when fi ghting big fish are too numerous to mention.
TLD
The new lower priced and highly popular TLD 15 is spot-on for mid-Channel pollack, light line bass and conventional "up and down" fishing. Consultant Dave Lewis has landed 100lbplus (45kg-plus) Namibian sharks on his! The TLD 20 suits medium weight pirking, blue sharks and deep water where its fast retrieve and wide diameter spool are appreciated. An outstanding reel capable of handling any European fish, the TLD 25 fits the bill for pirking, conger, skate, sharks and overseas sorties.
TLD 2-SPEED A
The same drag system on standard TLD reels but heavily engineered for even tougher work. They offer the option of switching between high and low speed retrieve as situations dictate. If you are pumping a 200lb skate through 400ft of water, you'll need low. A high-flying billfish that changes course to rush the boat demands high. If you want just one reel for home and abroad, make it a TLD 2 Speed.
CHARTER SPECIAL
Is this the perfect choice all-round reel for the UK based angler? Available in two sizes and featuring the somewhat unique combination of a lever drag, level wind and centrifugal brakes, this is one reel that is equally at home casting baits uptide from an anchored boat as it is working artificial lures such as jelly worms and shads over deepwater wrecks and reefs on the drift. The Shimano Charter Special is the perfect choice for use with either braid or monofilament lines.
TRINIDAD DC
Take one of the worlds most popular and respected saltwater reels and add Shimano Digital Control and a great reel becomes even better.
The eight step adjustment knob enables you to dial in the digitally controlled braking system to suit your preference.
Built around a one piece aluminium frame, with 6 A-RB ball bearings and one roller bearing, the quick 6.2:1 retrieve in complimented by the large power handle for the most demanding situations. Tough, sophisticated and beautifully engineered, Trinidad DC puts you in total control.
TRINIDAD
No longer need you compromise between speed and power thanks to the Trinidad's massive 6.2:1 ratio main gear housed within a one-piece aluminium frame. A large Dartanium washer, six A-RB ball bearings plus one roller bearing ensure performance and longevity. Besides an alarm, there's a unique adjustable clicker system.
TORIUM
Like Trinidad reels, Torium belongs to the new generation of high-speed power reels. A full one piece aluminium frame and special adjustable power handle with ergonomic handle knob are demanded by the power you can create. Super Stopper system, 3 A-RB ball bearings, adjustable clicker and star drag come as standard.
TLD-STAR
Another top quality value-for-money multiplier reel, perfect for many boat fishing applications. The generous line capacity of the TLD Star reels make these especially suited to deeper water applications.
TEKOTA
Within these metal frame reels, a multi disc star drag system can be adjusted in every position required. A line counter model is available in 500 and 600 sizes. Gears are assisted by 3 A-RB ball bearings plus a roller bearing.
TR
The TR200G is the perfect choice for the novice angler, though this feature packed and highly affordable reel is also ideal for more experienced anglers looking to carry a second or third reel for use as a spare, or when needing to venture off shore equipped with a selection of different breaking strains or types of line. The reel features a level wind and is ideal for general downtide fishing at anchor with bait, or fishing on the drift using either bait or artificial lures.
DENDOU-MARU A
With a line capacity of 600 metres of 50 lb Antares Special Dyneema the battery powered, CE certified Dendou-Maru reel is small in size, but huge in capacity. The enormous retrieve power of 44 kg/cm can be controlled by an ergonomic lever. On the LCD screen information such as program, line out, power and other relevant information is displayed. Dendou-Maru makes extreme deep-sea fishing a pleasure, even when fishing the incredibly deep Scottish sea lochs for 100lb plus skate!
