Shimano
When offshore trolling calls for tackle capable of withstanding heavy loads and prolonged battles, the Shimano Tyrnos A Trolling delivers a purpose-built big-game design. Available in line classes from 50 lb to 130 lb, this rod is engineered to target powerful tuna, marlin and other large pelagic predators while maintaining an effective balance of strength, durability and handling.
At its core is a Full Carbon blank featuring HPC (High Pressure Carbon) and Biofibre technologies, designed to provide substantial lifting power and resist deformation under intense pulling forces. Twist Control technology helps reduce blank rotation under load, supporting a more stable rod curve and efficient use of the rod’s power reserve. Its dedicated trolling action helps absorb aggressive strikes and maintain progressive pressure throughout the fight.
Every key component is suited to demanding offshore applications. Seaguide stainless steel roller guides promote smooth line travel when using heavy line diameters and high drag settings, while helping minimise friction and heat build-up. The Pac Bay aluminium reel seat provides a robust mounting platform for large big-game reels, ensuring a secure connection between rod and reel.
The contoured EVA foregrip enhances grip and handling during the most intense stages of a fight. An aluminium butt, available in straight or curved versions, allows anglers to configure the rod according to their preferred fighting technique and position, from fighting-chair setups to stand-up fishing.
The Tyrnos A Trolling is designed for anglers seeking a specialist rod built around the practical demands of strength and control. A dedicated solution for heavy offshore trolling, where blank integrity, reliable roller guides and a secure reel connection are essential when targeting the ocean’s largest predators.
