The Reel
The new Shimano SpeedMaster LD II 12 2-Speed Overhead Reel has all the capabilities of the Talica II 2-Speed reel, without the premium price tag. The Speed Master LD II looks and feels tough and is built as a powerhouse reel, capable of tackling many tasks. If you need a reel that’s capable of dropping livebaits for big Kings, can swing a jig and then switch to ledger rig fishing. Then the Speed Master LD could be what you’re looking for.

2 Speed Gearing
This mechanism is designed so that gear changes are quick and easy, even when fighting a fish. The low gear ratio used for high-power retrieves is selected by pushing the button on the base of the handle. Return to the high-speed ratio by sliding the release button along the handle shank. By using two sets of gears, the drive and pinion gears are always engaged. There is no gear meshing during the shift.

Anti-Rust Bearings
A-RB are made of stainless steel that has been through the A-RB process. At least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Easy maintenance no-shield design allows for easy flushing of debris and easy lubrication. Increased bearing speed-no shield design and lighter viscosity lubrication reduce friction and allow the bearing to spin faster and longer.

HAGANE Body
Hagane Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

The Rod
The Shimano Abyss SW Spiral Wrap OH Jig Rod has been designed, tested, redesigned, tested, tweaked and tested again by Team Shimano and Tony Orton from Offshore Adventures and his busy charter crews.

Shimano’s latest range of blue water-centric rods is built on ultra-tough Shimano T45 graphite blanks and fitted with top-quality Fuji SiC/SiN II guides and Aftco/Fuji reel seats. The all-new Shimano Abyss SW Spiral Wrap OH Jig Rod is a dynamic, lightweight yet very strong tamer of the powerful blue water species like Kingfish, Bass, Hapuku, Tuna, Billfish and the mighty Broadbill Swordfish. It’s engineered not only to look awesome from the tip to the butt section but also completes MSL tests of well over specified line ratings at 45 degrees and 60 degrees respectively. And not only that, it’s built tough enough to handle the rigours of day-to-day charter work. Get ready to do some serious fishing!
