Shimano Tyrnos: The Shimano Reel For Offshore Fishing

It is the start of summer and you have loads of plans. Actually, there is only one thing you plan to do this summer, you just intend on doing lots of it: fishing. Every cell in your body seems to be yearning for the wide open sea, the salt spray, the excitement of the catch, and even the dull vibrations of the motorboat. Will this summer bring you the big one? Bring the Shimano Tyrnos with you and rest assured that you would get quality performance from this Shimano reel.

The Shimano Tyrnos is one of the latest conventional Shimano reels used for offshore fishing. Let me just make a few comparisons about its features with the other conventional Shimano reels on the market. It has the Aluminum frame the Shimano Tiagra is known for and the Graphite Sideplates that make the Shimano TLD light and nimble. These two combine to make the Shimano Tyrnos a durable, well-aligned, and light reel optimal for offshore fishing. Like the Shimano Tiagra, TLD, and Torsa, the Tyrnos has a lever drag to lessen or even completely do away with lever movement due to boat’s motor vibrations. The lever drag has a pre-programmable range which lets you set the Strike button to a specific pressure from an almost unlimited range. You can shift from Strike to Full and any pressure in between these two. The Shimano Tyrnos also has an ergonomic power handle similar to the ones found on the Tiagra, Trinidad, and Torsa for a comfortable, non-slip grip that provides increased torque. Common to all the conventional reels made by Shimano are the aluminum spool, anti-rust bearings, and the clicker.

This informative guide on the Shimano Tyrnos was sponsored by Sea Isle Tackle: http://www.seaisletackle.com - the Shimano Tyrnos is a great off-shore fishing reel - do you like offshore fishing? We at Sea Isle do, and we highly recommend this fishing reel. Not only can the Tyrnos be used for OFf-shore fishing, it can be used in freshwater, angling, deep sea, and much much more!

Several unique features distinguish the Shimano Tyrnos from the rest of the reels produced by Shimano. Unlike most other conventional Shimano reels which have a super stopper with assist stopper for anti-reverse, the Shimano Tyrnos has an alternating anti-reverse twin pawl which gives you hooksetting power for very little backplay. The reduced profile top crossbar found in Tyrnos models 20 and 30 give you tremendous line control when dropping lures or back baits when trolling. And oversized gears afford immense cranking power while an oversized handle shank gives increased torque.

The Shimano Tyrnos has 6 available models: TYR8, TYR10, TYR12, TYR16, TYR20, and TYR30. Line capacity, full and strike max drag, and model unit weight increase with the corresponding increase in model number. The Tyrnos also has a 2-Speed model which lets you shift easily form high to low gear by just pressing a button. With this innovation, you can have the cranking power of a reel in low gear and the speed needed in moving a lure or clearing a trolling pattern on a hook-up in high gear.

  2. QUESTION:
    how do you use a Penn fishing reel?
    just got a horizontal penn fishing reel, every time i cast the line 'birdnests' on the reel, how do i stop that

    • ANSWER:
      Practice! its the only way, applying pressure to the spool, before it hits the water will slow the reel down, which is exactly what you need it to do. This is known as "thumbing" the spool, just apply light pressure to slow down the spool.
      Also set the reels magnets to full, when your just starting out.

      Use a higher line diameter, nothing less than 10lb test, it makes it easier to control.

      Also don't overfill the spool with line, stop a few mm away from the rim of the spool.

      Apply a slightly more viscous oil to the rels bearings and clean away any low viscosity oil, this in turn will slow the reel down, when you can cast it with no problems, upgrade to the lower viscosity high speed oil.

      Reels such as the penn 525 mag, super mag and super mag extra, are fast reels, they are supplied with ceramic bearings, dont use these until you feel confident in your casting.

  3. QUESTION:
    can anyone give me a website where i can learn to repair a penn fishing reel?

    i have a penn series rod that broke and i would like to know if anyone knows a course-like website that would teach me how to repair it. no immature answers

    • ANSWER:
      I just work from the exploded diagram which comes with the reel. Just make sure you get all the washers, etc. stacked in the correct order as shown on the diagram.

      You can print out the proper diagram from the Penn website, and order any parts you need from them as well, if you can't get them at your local tackle shop.

      http://www.pennreels.com/03_service/parts/explist.htm

      Some hints: make sure you have quality tools (screwdrivers, wrenches) of the correct sizes, so you don't tear up the parts, and be very careful with small parts (dog springs, etc) so they don't jump out of the reel and across the room when you're taking it apart.

  5. QUESTION:
    What is the ideal game fish for a Penn International 975LD fishing reel?
    Got this gem as a birthday gift and it appears to be a quality piece of fishing gear. Just like to know other people's experience with it and what would be the ideal game fish for it.

    • ANSWER:
      donky-

      well you got some hilarious answers here, dude. First off, I don't know why you would primarily use a bait caster to troll with.The word CAST should give it away. Second, the 975 has a capacity of 300 yds of 15, which is generous, and by that I mean its tough to get that much 15 on, so to put 30 on and fish, what? Saltwater?

      As far as straight mono is concerned, 20 is ok, and the slow ratio is good for swimbaits and what not. use it for whatever you would in the salt for #20 surface bite.
