Shimano Tiagra 50WLRSA Overhead Reel
Shimano Tiagra Reels are widely accepted as the ultimate offshore reels by captains worldwide because of their durability and superb performance against the biggest and baddest fish in the ocean. With the introduction of the newer Shimano Tiagra A series of reels, an improved ratcheting lever drag was introduced, allowing for more precise drag adjustments along with an improved 2-speed gearing system. Shimano Tiagra A Series Reels (Tiagra 12 and Tiagra 16 excluded) received an offset ergonomic power grip that gives anglers more leverage. Specs & Features AR-B (Anti-Rust Bearing) stainless steel ball bearings are specially treated to drastically increase the corrosion resistance of the bearing. These bearings will last at least 10 times longer than standard stainless steel ball bearings in high salinity environments. The HAGANE Body is made of highly rigid aluminium or magnesium. This increases stiffness and impact resistance, and helps to stop the flexing of the body. The result is a rock-solid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel. Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings and gives the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

I have to admit I had some anxiety sending two grand to the other side of the world in hopes that I would really receive my 2 TI-130A reels. Well they arrived today in New Hampshire, USA, exactly 20 days after placing my order. The price (including international shipping) was better than any I found by a good bit. I also had some concern that these would be "foreign" models, but they came in U.S./English packaging with a Shimano USA warranty, and the packaging and reels look identical to what I've seen locally. I just finished spooling them up with line and I can't wait for tuna season to start! Thank you!

I chose the Tiagra 30A as my big game reel because I did not need the extra capacity afforded in the 30 wide or the 50 series reels. I spooled it with 579 yards of 80 lb Powerpro braid and put it on a Shimano 200 lb class rod for use offshore targeting grouper, snapper, and pelagic. The reel is fairly heavy and would also pair well on a bent but rod. The two-speed shift mechanism works very easily, and the drag plates are very large and should afford very consistent operation. The drag lever works very smoothly. I am very happy with this reel and would highly recommend it to others.

I bought this reel for fishing in south Florida for sharks and marlin. I have it in the 50wlrsa and the 130 size. The reel is very powerful and has a comfortable handle. The two speed mechanism is very easy to shift and the low gear ratio proved to be very helpful when fighting a 300lb bull shark. We also used the 130 on a trip to Abaco and were able to land a 962lb blue marlin. It is a great reel.
Amazing dredge reel! My wife and I do a lot of marlin fishing in the Northeast with just her and I in the pit. We absolutely could not live without the auto stop feature. The auto stop really comes in handy when there are multiple hook ups and we both are busy. Its so easy to reach over and hit one button and then never have to worry about it again. These reels have so much power our dredges are up and hanging in a matter of seconds. Definitely a must have!
Great website, I’ve been a Penn guy all my life. I switched to Shimano because it was easy to compare and contrast the two reels. I was in the market for new gear, and your in depth details about the characteristics of the function of the reel both reels made it easy to switch to Shimano. Thank you, guys and gals.
I purchase the Tiagra 50wlrsa, 80wa, and 130a and all I have to say is that they are perfect. Beginning with the 50, I really like how it isn't so big so I can handle it very well. It is great for stand up fishing. With the 80, I am shocked by all the capacity, I was able to get a 300 yard dacron back and 700 yard braid Topshop. This makes it great for trolling, especially for Marlin. Wrapping up with the 130, the reel has a whopping 99 pounds of drag. Because of this, I can stop the biggest of fish the pull very hard.
Worked on charterboat that had these for seven years. 365 days a year operating. 80lb mono on the 50 and countless marlin, nice tuna to 100/150lbs, and nice wahoo to 50lbs or so...no problems, except on drag replacement in those seven years.The 30's were worked even more handling most of the bonito, smaller yellowfin to 40lbs and bull mahi to 40 also and wahoo in the same range. Also small marlin to 200. Did not have any problems.Had penn internationals on the boat before that, and their drags would need service every other marlin or yellowfin in the 60lb range and up. We would mark them with tape. In my experience reels are more than proven trolling.
The Tiagra 50w is by far the most well known game reel across not only Australia, but the world. Since starting at BCF in 2010, I’ve been lucky enough to purchase a couple from my store (Taylor’s Lakes) and have put them through their paces.From Marlin to Bluefin, they have never failed and they’re always up for the battle.With the matching rod from BCF, machine spooled line and all the rod and reel care available in store, this really is a winning combo.
I marlin fish a lot in the Bahamas and shark fish specifically stand up fishing not in a fighting chair. When I need a reel that I know my 50w can't handle, the tiagra 80w is my go to. Hands down there no other reel that is more reliable and well made for big game fishing other than the shimano tiagra. From the 30w all the way up to the 130, they are all fantastic and I would recommend everyone to test them out. You won't be disappointed.
