Shimano Tyrnos 2-Speed Reels

Shimano Tyrnos Saltwater Trolling Reels feature an open top crossbar design and Shimanos stainless steel A-RB anti-rust bearings. Other key features designed primarily for trolling are a ratcheting lever drag to eliminate any lever movement caused by boat vibration and a loud clicker with enough ten...sion to hold large baits. Additional features include oversized gears for power while maintaining a high-speed 5.0:1 gear ratio and an extra long handle shank with an oversized ergonomic rubber power grip. Shimano Tyrnos reels are constructed with diecast aluminum frames and graphite sideplates to reduce weight while maintaining strength and durability.

Great Reel at a Great Price

Jonathan
2 years ago

Didn't really want to go all out and spend a ton of money on a bunch of Talicas or Tiagras. This is a great compromise. Handle is extremely comfortable, drag is smooth, and I feel a lot better having a metal housing, which is why I skipped past the TLD and went with the Tyrnos. I use these reels for trolling and they've proven to be great reels for the money.

Solid reel

Junot

This reel is solid, two speed reel can manage almost anything offshore you throw at it. From Tuna to Wahoo, Marlin and everything in between. Paired with a 30-65 rod, 65 braid with a 50 mono topshot is the ticket!!

TLD upgrade

Harris

Bought this over a TLD 30II, same drag pressure, slightly different gear ratio than the TLD. For $60 more dollars to have a metal body reel with the same performance features of a TLD. Waiting for the wind to die down so I can try to out.

Great all-around reel

Doug

I bought the Shimano Tyrnos for the bluefin/yellowfin tuna bite that's been happening off Southern California and I was very pleased with this reel. Simple enough by design, strong and powerful it works well with flylining bait and is a good caster. Had a chance to jig some flatfalls and the reel is very functional and smooth in this regard.

Tyrnos 12

Colin
11 years ago

I have the Tynos 12, and it's a nice reel. It's pretty heavy, but it definately has some power and a nice drag. It also casts pretty well for a reel of that size, but personally, I mostly use it when its in a rod holder most of the day while trolling niner rigs for stripers.

Can it be used for fresh water MAsheer fishing in rivers using lures?? Or should I choose another reels

Post an Answer
Bernie 6 years ago

From what I gather on the MAsheer this reel would be way to big but if you want to stay with convetional setups the Shimano torium 16hga would be a good choice.Another reel I would look at would be the Shimano tranX 500hg

Asked by alex l 7 years ago

If i was looking at a shimano tyranos 30 for tuna fishing in the Hudson Canyon(both trolling and jigging) what kind of rod would you recommend i pair this with.

Post an Answer
Donald 7 years ago

The Shimano TYR30II Tyrnos Fishing Reel would be a good reel for trolling in at the Husdon Canyon for tuna. The Shimano Terez Casting and the Shimano Tallus Bluewater Casting rods would be great rods to pair with the Shimano TYR30II Tyrnos Fishing Reel. T

Asked by lynn Wharton 9 years ago

would this reel be a recommendation for striped marlin and/or mahi or is there a better choice

Post an Answer
KRAIG 9 years ago

The Tyrnos 20II will work for Striped Marlin and Mahi. However, the Talica 16II would be perfect. It has plenty of line capacity, more drag than the Tyrnos, and weighs 12oz less.

Asked by John 9 years ago

Hi, what would be the recommended fishing rod for the Shimano Tyrnos 20 2 speed?

Post an Answer
KRAIG 9 years ago

The "recommended" rod for this reel depends on your application and what you are fishing for. To help us give you a recommendation, can you give us more information about what you are fishing for and how?

Asked by Sean 10 years ago

Sorry one more question if you do not mind. This would be my first Lever Drag Reel. Is the drag weight determined by the maximum drag of the reel by 20-30%? Or is it 20-30% of the weight of the line being used? I would tend to think the latter. Just wante

Post an Answer
Customer Service 10 years ago

The drag used is generally set at 1/3 of the breaking strength of the line within reason and capacities of reel and rod.

Asked by Donald Arana 10 years ago

Post an Answer
Customer Service 10 years ago

The Shimano Tallus Bluewater model TLC66MHBBR (SHM-2432), would be a great rod to pair with that reel.

The Trynos 30 will hold 300+ yds of 50lb mono line. We do not have any pieces of flourocarbon, but if you buy a spool we can attach the leader for you.
