Product Highlights
SHIMANO Tiagra Conventional Lever Drag Reel

The SHIMANO Tiagra Conventional Lever Drag Reel is engineered for offshore anglers and professional captains who demand unwavering performance. Its proprietary hydrothermal drag system eliminates inconsistency under load, maintaining precise drag settings through extended battles—whether facing 300-pound marlin or working deep structure. The solid aluminum frame delivers exceptional rigidity and corrosion resistance, critical for heavy-line applications where frame flex costs fish. Built for durability across multiple seasons and reliable performance on remote, long-range expeditions where conventional tackle must perform flawlessly.

Spooling Option

Select from standard spooling options listed in the drop-down menu above, or let us know how you would like your reel spooled. Custom spooling including top-shots, wind-ons, hollow-core backing, and fluorocarbon are available. Call or send a note with your requirements and we’ll advise costs. All reels are machine spooled under ideal tension, braid is spooled with approximately 50 feet of mono backing. Wind-on leaders are offered for both hollow core and non-hollow braid, hollow core is spliced and non-hollow braid is connected loop-to-loop with a bimni twist.

HAGANE Body, HAGANE Gear

HAGANE Body, HAGANE Gear

The rigid one-piece HAGANE Body holds its shape under the worst of an offshore fight — no flex, no creak, no drift in the gear mesh when you're cranking against a tuna sound or pulling a GT off the reef. Inside, the HAGANE Gear is cold-forged from a single piece of metal rather than cut, which produces a gear surface that runs glass-smooth out of the box and stays smooth for the life of the reel. X-Ship pairs the two with a tighter pinion-gear seat for efficient power transfer.
Hypothermal Drag System

Hypothermal Drag System

This proprietary system automatically compensates for frictional heat buildup during high-speed, extended runs. It eliminates the sudden "drag spikes" or variances common in traditional big-game reels, ensuring exceptionally smooth and consistent braking pressure.
Continuous-Mesh Two-Speed Gearing

Continuous-Mesh Two-Speed Gearing

The high and low gears are engineered to remain continuously engaged. This allows you to shift under heavy load via a seamless push-button mechanism, providing a flawless transition between rapid line recovery and maximum low-end cranking power without ever losing pressure on a fish.

Before you buy

Frequently asked questions.

Still unsure? Call +1-877-337-9591. You'll talk to a builder, not a sales rep.

  • Can I use wire line on a Shimano Tiagra reel?

    Yes you can! The machined aluminum spool can handle the abrasive wear and high pressure of wire line. Make sure you thoroughly rinse the spool after use; salt can get trapped under the wire and can accelerate corrosion and localized pitting if left unwashed.

  • What is the difference between a standard Tiagra and an LRS model?

    "LRS" stands for Long Range Special. These models (30WLRSA and 50WLRSA) are designed with a modified drag cam that specializes in heavy-line stand-up fishing. You get a steeper, more aggressive drag car, which provides higher drag pressure more quickly as you move the lever compared to the gradual increase of a standard model.

  • What are A-RB bearings and what do they do?

    A-RB stands for Anti-Rust Bearings, which undergo a specialized surface treatment that makes them at least 10 times more corrosion-resistant that standard stainless steel in high-salinity environments. They prevent salt buildup and pitting so your reel retains its signature smooth free-spooling performance.

  • Does it ship spooled with line?

    Reels ship empty. Free spooling service with reel purchase at our Pompano Beach shop — bring your line of choice. Most tackle shops will also spool with proper tension. We do not recommend spooling at home unless you have a line winder.
