Shimano SpeedMaster LD II 12 2-Speed Overhead Reel

Your new powerhouse reel

The new Shimano SpeedMaster LD II 12 2-Speed Overhead
Reel has all the capabilities of the Talica II 2-Speed
reel, without the premium price tag. The Speed Master LD II looks
and feels tough and is built as a powerhouse reel, capable of
tackling many tasks. If you need a reel that’s capable of dropping
livebaits for big Kings, can swing a jig and then switch to ledger
rig fishing. Then the Speed Master LD could be what you’re looking
for.

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.

HAGANE Body
Hagane Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The
body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body
flexing. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into
cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.
