Some of the basic fishing reels offered by Shimano are the tough, dependable, fuel-injected reels called Tekota. These are level wind Shimano fishing reels are made to last many seasons and they’re simple to use. Torium reels are all the rage and many fishermen swear by them. The Speed Master High Ratio Game fish reel has many fans as well, along with the TLD Star drag reels and Trinidad Narrow Special models which work with high speed but stay steady. The new metal palming ring supplies the Mooher plus GD reel with a strong, smooth power base that is as comfortable to use as it is powerful.

If you prefer spinning reels, you will find the Shimano Bait runner D is up for all live bait situations of any size, from 400 (inshore, freshwater varieties) all the way up to huge blue water fish at 12000.

For casting or spinning you cannot do better than Calcutta, TLD or Tallus, and Shimano has them all for you. Castng V, Spinning V and Blue Water Atlantic series are all Shimano featured rods. Trolling rods with line class ratings of 50-lb., 80-lb. and 130-lb. make up the Tallus International Game Fish Association series. These rods are designed with the help of local guides who really use them heavily, experienced field testers, fishing gear dealers and customers like you. This input combined with the latest high-tech construction has produced the finest fishing gear in the world. Fishermen can have their very own design by choosing either a tip without the Unibutt by AFTCO or getting the whole outfit, with the butt integrated into the design. Now fishermen can exercise their options and combine their new Tallus IGFA tips with AFTCO butts that they may already have.

Available add-ons for your boat are: towers, wake enhancers, props, booms, racks, owned skier flags, boat misting systems, speakers and lights, timing and speed control, heaters, tow accessories, mirrors, showers and there’s a world of other choices. Bristol Bay Bag and Banar boat deck bags are also available from Shimano, with EVA Handles, a water-proof soft bottom and a handy mesh pouch in the top lid. Any fishing or boat gear that you want to keep dry and secure, can go right into the pouch.
