Compact Tiagra, big game ability

The Shimano Tiagra 30WLRSA Talica Dual Butt Game Combo 5ft 6in 50lb 2pc pairs the Tiagra 30WLRSA with the Talica dual butt roller rod rated 50lb. The 30-size Tiagra is lighter in hand but still built with the same one-piece frame and two-speed gearing. Ready for your next marlin.

The Reel
The Shimano Tiagra 30WLRSA Game Reel is perfectly suited for chasing down Stripeys, this reel features a slightly darker, heavier gold anodising, a newly designed Septon power handle and a drilled drag quadrant with a drag curve that's better suited to New Zealand conditions. The heavier anodising makes it more resistant to the ravages of saltwater, while the click stop drag quadrant permits more precise drag adjustments. The counterbalanced handle falls easily to hand when striking a fish and makes winding easier during the course of a long fight. Its rubberised 'tackiness' combats sweaty hands which, as you may well know, can be a problem during the course of a long hard-fought fight. Another major rule of game fishing is that the leverage you create in a chair or stand-up harness with a big marlin, tuna or shark on the other end of the line places a HUGE amount of pressure on the tackle.

The Rod
The Shimano Talica Dual Butt Roller Game Rod is built for offshore game fishing, combining Shimano's High Pressure Carbon (HPC) construction with Biofibre reinforcement and Diaflash technology to maximise lifting power, minimise blank twist and provide strength under heavy loads. The full ALPS RX roller guide train provides smooth, consistent line flow and durability when fishing heavy drag settings with monofilament or braided line. The Custom Carbon Dual Butt System is supplied with both a straight butt and bent butt, each featuring a Shimano Channel Lock reel seat. This gives you the flexibility to choose the butt configuration that best suits your offshore setup, while the 5ft 6in 50lb line rating makes the rod suited to targeting powerful game fish such as marlin, tuna and swordfish.
