Shimano Tiagra 50 WA Abyss SW Stand Up Game Combo 5ft 6in 30-50lb 2pc

Serious gear for serious fish

Talk about sturdy! The Shimano Tiagra 50 WA Abyss SW Stand Up Game Combo strikes the perfect balance between top end performance and durability. Matched to target big fish, this set is perfect for any serious Big Game angler.

The Reel
The Shimano Tiagra 50 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, but they
also feature the use of the latest anodising, plating and painting
techniques for beautiful and durable finishes.

The Rod
The Shimano Abyss SW Stand Up Game Rod comes from
the Shimano Abyss range of blue water-centric rods, which have
utilised the best rod-building technology available. This has led
to a range of dynamic, lightweight but very strong rods, that can
tame the most powerful species like Kingfish, Bass, Hapuku, Tuna,
Billfish and Broadbill Swordfish.

The design brief from the top was clear – engineer a series of rods
that not only look the business cosmetically from the tip to the
butt section but must complete MSL tests of well over specified
line ratings at 45 degrees and 60 degrees respectively, also, the
Shimano ABYSS range needed to be able to handle the tough rigours
of day-to-day charter work – no easy task! So Shimano NZ in
conjunction with Tony Orton from Offshore Adventures testing began
and with only minor tweaks from the first cut samples the Shimano
ABYSS range was born. Literally hundreds of hard fighting kingfish,
hapuku, huge sharks and billfish have been caught using the entire
Shimano ABYSS range of rods!
