The Shimano Tiagra 50WA is a legendary 2-speed lever drag game reel engineered for extreme offshore conditions. Constructed with a precision-machined, 1-piece cold-forged solid aluminium frame, it eliminates flex under extreme drag pressures when battling monster pelagics. It is the ultimate choice for New Zealand anglers stand-up fishing or trolling for marlin, yellowfin tuna, and broadbill swordfish in deep blue waters.
