Shimano Tyrnos TYR20II — Versatile Offshore Reel for Tuna, Dolphin, and Light Billfish
The Shimano Tyrnos TYR20II 2‑speed lever‑drag conventional reel is a versatile, saltwater‑ready workhorse built for offshore anglers chasing species like tuna, dolphin (mahi‑mahi), sailfish, white marlin, or other pelagics using light‑to‑medium tackle. Its durable construction, two-speed gearing, and smooth drag make it a go‑to reel for trolling, live‑baiting or chunking for hard-charging offshore gamefish.
Why Tuna, Dolphin & Light‑Tackle Billfish Anglers Choose TYR20II:
- Selectable 2‑Speed Gearbox: Quickly switch between high‑speed (5.0:1) for rapid line retrieval and low‑speed (2.0:1) for maximum torque and controlled hook‑sets when a fish hits.
- Rugged HAGANE Aluminum Frame & Graphite Sideplates: Lightweight yet strong — built to resist corrosion and handle repeated use in saltwater offshore conditions.
- Oversized Gears & Ergonomic Handle: Provides plenty of cranking power and smooth retrieves, whether you’re reeling in a tuna, mahi, or fighting a feisty marlin.
- Saltwater‑Ready Construction with A‑RB Anti‑Rust Bearings: Ensures long-term durability and dependable performance trip after trip.
- Good Line Capacity & Multi‑Line Compatibility: Accepts braid, mono, or mono‑topshot/backing — giving you flexibility to outfit for small tuna, dolphin, or light‑tackle billfish setups.
- Lever Drag + Clicker Strike Alert: Smooth drag makes for controlled fights; clicker alerts help detect bites while trolling or drifting bait.
Ideal Offshore Uses
- Tuna trolling or chunking — fast bait deployment and controlled fights under load.
- Mahi/dolphin fishing — light‑tackle friendly yet strong enough for fast, acrobatic runs.
- Sailfish or white marlin trolling, live‑baiting, or trolling — great for anglers pursuing billfish on lighter lines or smaller baits.
- Mixed‑species offshore trips — one reel ready for tuna one minute, mahi the next, or a surprise marlin strike offshore.
Equip your offshore setup with the Shimano Tyrnos TYR20II — a light‑to‑medium‑tackle, saltwater‑ready reel built for versatility, reliability, and serious offshore fishing action.
