Built to take the brutal conditions of long-line trolling in heavy chop, the Tekota series helps you make the most of every moment on the water. Whether using downriggers, divers, planer boards or lead-core line, these reels from Shimano will meet the needs and demands of any serious troller. Designed to handle medium to large game fish such as walleye, muskie, salmon, lakers, dorado and small tuna, they are packed with all the features it takes to make a high-quality, highly functional reel. A one-piece die-cast aluminum frame provides tight tolerances, durability and is built to last season after season. Smooth star drag system is easy to adjust for the exact amount of resistance you want the fish to work against. Counterbalanced handle shank reduces reel wobble during the retrieve. Oversized clicker button is easily found during the heat of battle and makes for quick setting. Specially treated A-RB® bearings are at least 10 times more corrosion-resistant than standard stainless steel bearings (three ball bearings and one roller bearing). These bearings promote smooth, even line flow. Crossbar-forward construction for easy access to the spool, and true levelwind for even line lay. Super Stopper® anti-reverse with no backplay for instantaneous hooksets. Nondisengaging levelwind system reduces sharp line angles for decreased friction and wear on the line. Ergonomic Septon™ handle grip is easy to find, hold and crank even when your hands are cold and stiff. Linecounter versions are equipped with a palmable linecounter with maintenance port. These reels accurately read how much line has been deployed up to 999 feet.

G'day guys Ben from fishing tackle shop comm did. You here with Chris cleaver at the Shimano stand at 2018 after-show. Now we've got an old favorite that's had a bit of a face lift. This year yeah this is the new Dakota in five. And six hundred sighs. One thing you'll notice probably straightaway it's quite compact yep the twenty percent smaller. Than the older another big thing is the gearing is fifty percent stronger. Then the last we had as well so it'll handle up to probably quite decent kingi's. And tuner and things like. Now as opposed to before but also two other big features. That are in this reel. That won't in the old. One is the Hagane body, so we've got the metal body the metal real foot so it's super strong super rigid on the rod. You don't get any torque. Or twist and then also saltwater is. One of the biggest killers of a real as. This has got core protect so it's got a seal in above the roller clutch a seal in the clutch lever as well. Another seal can be on the spool so keeps nasty water out keeps your bearings good new gears good. And then you got across carbon drive so. She packs a lot of punch for a little real. Now yeah you know I say is there a sacrifice on line capacity. More just targeted to the braid angler what's a go there lawn capacity is the same as the old. One yeah though the real small daddy bear deeper so the biggest ball the body's. More compact but uh yeah. It is definitely more suited to the braid market. Now as opposed to before. When the original took o to come out is probably for the. More of the mono market also the level line before in a big fishery Kirsten goes with the spool so.
You don't have a problem with. That braid cutting into the level wines. If it's on one side. And there're lines on the other side so yeah letting look fatigued. You know it's gonna go quite well with. Some new modern rods. That are available in their minor range obviously as well yeah pretty much a real looking do. Anything now yeah fantastic. All right thanks Chris. You can check him out at fishing tackle shop calm a you.
