Shimano Tyrnos 20II Two Speed Lever Drag Reel

Shimano Tyrnos 20II Two Speed Lever Drag Reel. A powerful range of lever drag multiplier reels available with either a single or dual speed retrieve. The Tyrnos is the reel currently in vogue on the British shark-angling scene. When loaded with modern, ultra-low diameter braided lines such as PowerPro, the smallest models within the Tyrnos range are proving increasingly popular with specialist anglers. The reels are small and light enough to fish comfortably all day for key species such as cod, ling and pollack, yet retain the inherent strength and high levels of engineering to comfortably handle the most powerful species available in Europe, including the likes of wreck conger, giant skate and sharks offshore in deep water.

Features

• A powerful lever drag multiplier
• Larger sized reels designed for very large fish in deep water. Smaller models suited to Cod, Ling and Pollack but with extra strength if needed
• Aluminium frame keeps moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability
• Features include aluminium power handle, Duralinium spool, stainless steel gear, waterproof drag and a clicker system
• Handle: Single Aluminium Power Handle

Two Speed Gearing
This shifting mechanism is designed so that gearing changes are quick and easy, even when fighting a fish. The low gear ratio used for highpower retrieves is selected by pushing the button on the base of the handle. Return to the highspeed 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.

Hagane Body
The HAGANE Body is produced from highrigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

ARB
The secret of longterm rotation performance is to prevent any form of rust, corrosion or oxidisation of the bearings, which can cause a reduction in the reels performance over time.
Shimano ARB bearings are the answer to this and are fitted as standard on most Shimano freshwater reels and on all Shimano saltwater models.

Waterproof Drag
Using special protection gaskets, the drag is protected against the intrusion of water for more consistent drag performance.

Diecast Aluminium
Diecast aluminium is used for many types of reel and is most common on fixed spool reel bodies and rotors. It is also used for spools on P4 fixed spool reels and come baitcasting models.

Clicker System
Increases the tension on Freespool and activates a clicking alarm when a fish bites.
