TIAGRAS GET AN UPGRADE
You wouldn't think that the Shimano engineers could possibly improve
on the superlative Tiagra lever drag game reel range, but somehow they've
managed to do it. The new Tiagra ‘A' series feature a slightly darker,
heavier gold anodising, a drilled drag quadrant with a drag curve better
suited to Australian conditions, and a new design rubberised power handle.
The heavier anodising makes these reels even more resistant to the ravages
of salt water, while the click stop drag quadrant permits more precise
drag adjustments. The counter-balanced 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 palms, which can be
a problem during the course of a long fight, especially when fishing
more tropical waters.
And to protect that new reel, pick up a Shimano neoprene reel cover
from your local tackle shop. They're available for the entire range from
the diminutive Tiagra 12 right through to the big 130.
