SHIMANO TIAGRA 16 OVERHEAD REEL

The Shimano Tiagra Overhead Reel is the gold standard in game fishing reels, trusted by professional charter operators and serious bluewater anglers worldwide. Engineered to handle the ocean’s toughest predators, the Tiagra series combines cutting-edge technology with unmatched strength and reliability.
