Tiagra Series
The Tiagra 12 reel is considered a true light line reel. Optimized for 12lb test, the gradual drag curve allows light line fishermen to quickly back off of the drag on a running fish, without having to worry about accidentally dropping into Freespool. Whether it's world record fishing, or light tackle tournaments, this reel is built with light line anglers' needs in mind.
The Tiagra 16 reel was designed with a Long Range Special (L.R.S.) style drag curve made popular with the Tiagra 50WLRS reel, and also features a twin disk drag system to achieve 29.5 pounds of drag at Full while still maintaining Freespool. This L.R.S. style curve is very steep allowing anglers to take advantage of the incredible maximum drag settings that the reel is capable of, while also providing a wide range of drag settings in between Strike and Freespool. The Tiagra 16 is the ultimate reel for fishing with today's braided superlines.
