Shimano Tiagra A TI50WA 2-Speed Lever Drag Reels Item ID: 92

The Shimano Tiagra A TI50WA 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel is the tortured middle child of the 50 sized Tiagras – larger than the standard TI50A, and narrower than the almighty TI50WLRSA, the TI50WA is a nice middle ground for those anglers who want the 50 sized power, but don’t want to be totally weighed down. You’ll find that it’s a bit easier to stand up with the TI50WA, especially when trying to do tough guy fishing without a harness. Because it’s slightly wider than the standard 50, the TI50WA’s cold forged aluminum spool will hold about 1200 yards of 150# braid so you can hunt large gamefish like tuna and marlin. You’ll be able to effectively target swordfish at extreme depths as well, and easily crank them to their doom using an ultra powerful 1.3:1 low gear (3.1:1 high). The TI50WA can be fished either on the troll using spreader bars, dredges, or cedar plug style lures, or with bait from the gunwale  - either live baiting or chunking techniques will be fine. The power of the Shimano Tiagra TI50AW Two Speed Lever Drag reel can be easily felt thanks to a responsive large disk lever drag system that puts out 37 and a half pounds of tight drag pressure.
