The Shimano Fishing Reel is one of the best fishing reels in the world. Anglers in general consider the Shimano Fishing Reel second to none. In fact, Shimano is synonymous with fishing itself for most anglers.
The Shimano Fishing Reel is one of the best fishing reels in the world. Anglers in general consider the Shimano Fishing Reel second to none. In fact, Shimano is synonymous with fishing itself for most anglers.

The Shimano Fishing Reel boasts a number of precision features, including High Efficiency Gearing, which comprises gears, frame, setplate AND handle-side sideplate. The Shimano Fishing Reel features larger drive and pinion gears for enhanced leverage and power. Gears don't bind under pressure as the flex in the drive train has been eliminated by 1) using a one-piece frame that incorporates a setplate, and 2) adding a one-piece stamped sideplate. No flex and enhanced leverage result in unbelievable torque and Shimano's signature high-speed, smooth and silent retrieves.

Here's a closer look at two types of the Shimano Fishing Reel:
• Tiagra Big Game Trolling Reel
The choice of professionals, this is today's premier two-speed lever-drag offshore trolling reel. The two-speed mechanism means both of these reel's gears are engaged at all times for instant transmission from speed to power and back again.

From the light tackle 12lb Class Ti-12 to the heavy-duty 130lb Class Ti-130A, this Shimano Fishing Reel is available in a wide variety of models.

Body and spool are constructed from solid bar-stock aluminum for strength and durability. This reel has stainless-steel gears for long life.

The reel features Shimano's Hydrothermal Drag System for extreme stopping power. The HDS eliminates surges in drag pressures during prolonged battles, and cools the drag plates. No other competing brand has a reel that has anything close to the HDS.

Other features include 10 times more corrosion resistant stainless-steel bearings . . . extremely dense cold-forged aluminum spool that can withstand heavy drag pressures . . . corrosion-fighting chrome-plated sideplate screws . . . durable twin disk drag system to double the drag surface and provide a wide range of drag settings . . . a clicker to increase tension; it also has an alarm to alert the angler when the fish bites . . . soft-touch handle grip that does not get slippery even when wet . . . and machined solid aluminum pipestock frame for rigidity and strength. Some models even have an ergonomic power grip that is offset on multiple axes to accommodate hand, wrist and arm angles for comfort and power.

• Stella SW Series Spinning Reel
Synonymous with durability, this reel is the winner of the ICAST Best Saltwater Reel award. Key features include cold-forged ceramic coated aluminum spool . . . diamond-like carbon coating on line roller . . . corrosion-resistant construction . . . improved gear design for extra durability . . . a propulsion line management system (propulsion spool lip, SR one-piece bail wire, Power Roller IV oversized roller with overflange for the ultimate in line protection, redesigned bail trip, and s-arm cam) . . . Aero Wrap II oscillation . . . Fluidrive II . . . maintenance port . . . aluminum frame, sideplate and rotor . . . Dyna-Balance . . . stopperless design (no anti-reverse switch) . . . direct drive mechanism (thread-in handle attachment) . . . etc.

This reel is ideal for serious anglers and is available in five sizes, including one for the popular butterfly jigging technique.
