Tsunami – Shield II Spinning Reels

Description

The Tsunami Shield II Spinning Reel series is built to give saltwater anglers serious protection, power and durability at a price that still makes sense for everyday fishing. Every Shield II starts with a rigid all-metal body and a watertight design using 12 internal seals, helping keep saltwater, spray and contaminants away from the components that matter most. Tsunami then matches the drivetrain to the size of the reel: the 2500 through 4000 models use a lightweight graphite rotor and digitally optimized A-Drive aluminum main gear for a quick, responsive feel, while the 5000 through 8000 sizes step up to an aluminum rotor and heavier B-Drive brass/aluminum gearing for added cranking strength when larger fish put the reel under real load.

A sealed CF3 drag system delivers smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight, while 5+1 dual-sealed stainless steel bearings and a sealed anti-reverse bearing help the reel stay smooth in the wet, sandy environments Northeast anglers regularly fish. The braid-ready spool, machined handle arm, round non-slip power knob and convertible left- or right-hand retrieve make the Shield II easy to put to work across a wide range of applications. With sizes from 2500 through 8000, the series covers everything from fluke bucktailing, weakfish and light striped bass to heavy surfcasting, blackfish, bluefish and selected offshore jigging and tuna applications. For anglers who want a tough, sealed reel with real saltwater features without moving into premium-reel pricing, the Shield II delivers an impressive amount of capability for the money.
