Unmatched power, precision, and control for the serious angler
When New Zealand's legendary game fish call, you need more than just a rod and reel – you need a formidable weapon built for battle. The Shimano Tiagra 80 WA 25 Abyss SW Bent Butt Game Combo is the pairing of ultimate strength, advanced engineering and battle-proven reliability built to give you the upper hand against the biggest, baddest species out there, from hard-fighting Kingfish to elusive Marlin and Swordfish.
The Reel
When you're chasing the ocean's heavyweights, you need gear that won't just keep up, but dominate. The Shimano Tiagra 80 WA Game 25 Abyss SW Dual Butt Game Combo is precisely that – a formidable pairing of ultimate strength, advanced engineering, and battle-proven reliability. This combo is purpose-built to give you the upper hand against the biggest, baddest fish out there, from hard-fighting Kingfish to elusive Marlin and Swordfish.
The Reel
The Shimano Tiagra 80 WA Game Reel is built for tough fights and packed with premium features to give you the upper hand against the biggest, baddest fish. The heavier anodising makes it even more resistant to corrosion from saltwater, while the click stop drag quadrant permits more precise drag adjustments. The counterbalanced septon power handle falls easily to hand when striking a fish and makes winding easier during long fights, plus its rubberised 'tackiness' combats sweaty palms. Sweet as!
The Tiagra's one piece frame is machine-cut from an aluminium tube to a thickness of 7mm. It's also packed with A-RB bearings, heavy duty stainless steel gears and a two speed shifting mechanism. This reel is built tough for big Marlins, Tunas or Sharks.
2 Speed Gearing
This mechanism is designed so that gear changes are quick and easy, even when fighting a fish. The low gear ratio used for high-power retrieves is selected by pushing the button on the base of the handle. Return to the high-speed ratio by sliding the release button along the handle shank. By using two sets of gears, the drive and pinion gears are always engaged. There is no gear meshing during the shift.
Anti-Rust Bearings
A-RB are made of stainless steel that has been through the A-RB process. At least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Easy maintenance no-shield design allows for easy flushing of debris and easy lubrication. Increased bearing speed-no shield design and lighter viscosity lubrication reduce friction and allow the bearing to spin faster and longer.
Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.
Shimano Metal Series
The Metal construction showcased in some of Shimano's finest reels now appears throughout their line of Metal Series products. Metal frames not only keep moving parts in precise alignment, they also feature the use of the latest anodising, plating and painting techniques for beautiful and durable finishes.
The Rod
The Shimano 25 Abyss SW Dual Butt Game Rod is made for one thing: conquering the toughest offshore species New Zealand waters can throw at you. This finely tuned fishing machine is purpose-built for serious big game anglers chasing Kingfish, Marlin, Swordfish, Bass, Hapuka and Bluenose.
At its heart is the revolutionary T45 graphite blank technology. This rod combines a significant reduction in weight with incredible hoop strength and sensitivity. This means less fatigue for you during those long battles, while still giving you the power to haul in serious catches and the feel to detect the most subtle bites. Equipped with only the best componentry, including top-tier Alps Roller guides and heavy-duty Fuji Silicon Nitride guides, you're guaranteed optimal line management and reduced friction, even when a powerful fish is stripping line under extreme load.
What truly sets this rod apart is its innovative adjustable butt, allowing you to seamlessly switch between straight and bent butt configurations at the push of a button. This versatility ensures maximum comfort and leverage, whether you're fighting stand-up or from a chair. The Shimano 25 Abyss SW Dual Butt Game Rod is a reliable choice built for day-in, day-out use by experienced offshore anglers who demand nothing less than peak performance.
