Purpose built for those prospecting the depths of the abyss in search of large bottom dwelling species but also doubles up as a great trolling rod.
- The Shimano Abyss SW 60-100lb Trolling Deep Drop Game Rod comes with a straight and a bent butt so you can adapt your rod for monster fish fighting!
The Reel:
The one piece frame is machine cut from an aluminium tube to a thickness of 7mm. A-RB Bearings, heavy duty stainless gears and 2 speed shift mechanism where the pinion and drive gears are constantly meshed. Heavier anodising makes these reels even more resistant to the ravages of salt water, while the click stop drag quadrant permits more precise drag adjustments. The counter balanced handle falls easily to hand when striking a fish and makes winding easier during the course of a long fight.
Tiagra reels combine the finest materials with all the technology and experience gained down the years by Shimano engineers. Machined from one piece of solid aluminium, the Hydrothermal Drag System is famed for precise and reliable operation. Tiagra reels feature a gold finish with extra corrosion protection and an ergonomic handle with two bearing support making this reel as durable as it is comfortable. These reels have porven themselve to be to best in an extremely competitive game fishing market.
The LRS (Long Range Specal) Drag system means you get much wider usable range of drag pressue and has more drag so can run heavier line weights than standard Tiagra 50W

The Shimano Abyss SW offers anglers a range of offshore rods capable of taming even the largest game fish encountered in the depths of the ocean. At the heart of the Abyss SW is a T45 blank.
