Shimano Tekota Levelwind Conventional Reel

Shimano Tekota Levelwind Reels have been designed with Coreprotect water resistance for the ultimate increase in corrosion resistance. These reels are a fishing troller dream and the perfect cross-over reel for both freshwater and saltwater species, from walleye to tuna.

Vast improvements have been made, including CoreProtect water resistance to increase corrosion protection, an easy-to-replace anti-fogging lens (LC models), loud clicker and new ergonomic S-Compact Body design. The Tekota A also incorporates Shimano's Hagane body system which offers increased rigidity when the Cross Carbon Drag outputs high pressures to help anglers bring in the trophy they were chasing.

Shimano was able to reduce the sideplate size by 20% while still maintaining the same line capacities. The other major physical changes are the addition of Coreprotect which provides corrosion protection to the body and clutch and sealed ball bearings. Shimano also increased the gear ratio to 6.3:1 or 6.6:1 giving you 35"-38" of line returned per crank of the handle. If you're looking for a great bottom fishing or jigging reel and want a levelwind, get yourself a Shimano Tekota HG Levelwind Reel. For salmon or steelhead anglers, the smaller sizes are perfect for you!
