Shimano Tiagra 80 WA Stand Up Big Game Combo 5ft 6in 37kg 1pc

Serious gear for seriously big fish

The Shimano Tiagra 80 WA Stand Up Big Game Combo strikes the perfect balance between top end performance and durability. Renowned for a drag system that just won’t give in, the Shimano Tiagra reel is designed to target Striped Marlin, Tuna, Blue and Black Marlin - making it the reel of choice for any serious Big Game angler. Plus the matching Tiagra Rod provides all the power and comfort you need for those long, tough fights.

The Reel
The Shimano Tiagra 80 WA Game Reel is geared specifically to handle not only the fish themselves but also the harsh saltwater environment. Perfect for large Striped, Blue or Black Marlin it features a slightly darker, heavier gold anodising, a newly designed Septon power handle and a drilled drag quadrant with a drag curve better suited to New Zealand conditions.

The heavier anodising makes these reels even 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. It’s rubberised ‘tackiness’ combats sweaty which, as you may 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 end of the line places a HUGE amount of pressure on the tackle. That’s exactly why Shimano has made the Tiagra’s one piece machine-cut frame from a 7mm aluminium tube (the thickest on the market). Team that up with the A-RB bearings, heavy duty stainless steel gears, a two speed shifting mechanism and you are guaranteed a reel that is as serious at catching fish as you are. Choose the Shimano Tiagra 80 WA, you’ll need nothing else…

The Rod
The Shimano Tiagra Stand Up Rod is light, strong and incredibly responsive, perfect for Marlin, Tuna or Sharks. Made of a glass/graphite weave the Shimano Tiagra Rods give you a rod with unprecedented power and reliability. Finished off with Fuji & Aftco components you are guaranteed a rod that is up to task of landing seriously big fish. With a metallic gold, silver and black thread they look just as good as they perform.
