Shimano Tyrnos TYR50IILRS — Offshore Tuna, Wahoo & Blue Marlin Reel
The Shimano Tyrnos TYR50IILRS lever-drag, 2-speed conventional reel is engineered for offshore anglers chasing powerful pelagics like tuna and blue marlin. With a rugged die-cast aluminum frame, saltwater-ready components, and versatile gearing, this reel delivers the strength, speed, and reliability you need on demanding offshore trips.
Why Tuna & Marlin Anglers Choose Tyrnos:
- 2-Speed Gearbox: Switch between high-speed retrieve for bait or lure deployment and low-speed, high-torque gear for fighting big fish. You can shift gear even under load — giving you flexibility during long fights.
- Die-cast Aluminum Frame & Graphite Sideplates: Provides durability and rigidity under heavy loads while staying lighter than comparable full-metal reels — ideal for long offshore days.
- Oversized Gears & Power Handle: Deliver serious torque and efficient cranking, giving you the muscle to turn over large tuna or hold pressure on a marlin.
- Saltwater-Ready Construction: Comes with corrosion-resistant A-RB bearings and a sealed drag system — built to withstand harsh offshore saltwater conditions and prolong reel life.
- High Line Capacity & Versatile Line Compatibility: Sized to handle heavy braid, mono, or mono-topshot combos — giving you the flexibility to tailor your setup to tuna or marlin depending on the trip.
- Clicker & Lever Drag System: Provides audible strike detection whether trolling, chunking, or live-baiting, and smooth drag control when fighting big game.
Ideal Offshore Uses
- Tuna trolling and chunking — fast bait deployment + strong cranking power for heavy loads.
- Blue marlin trolling, live-baiting, or bait-and-switch setups — smooth drag, high torque, and reliable performance under pressure.
- General big game pelagic fishing — a versatile workhorse reel for wahoo, mahi, tuna, or smaller marlin, depending on line and bait choice.
