Shimano Line Counter Reels

Shimano Tekota’s legacy of durability continues with the new fully redesigned Shimano Tekota A from 2018. Vast improvements have been made, including Coreprotect water resist to increase corrosion resistance, an easy to replace anti-fogging lens (LC models), loud clicker and new ergonomic S-Compact body design.

The new Shimano Tekota A is a small sized SW boat fishing or and/or light trolling reel. It describes it selves best as ‘a workhorse’. The reel has a levelwind system which is easy for the angler to get the line spooled well on the spool. The reel is equipped with very strong gearing, 3 S AR-B bearings, a clicker system, Hagane Aluminum Body frame and optional a line counter. The type of drag is a star drag, which is easy to adjust during the fight of a fish. Compared to the previous model, many things are new (body, looks, handle, gear ratio, drag power improved, weight slightly reduced, etc). Boat fishing, light SW trolling.

Shimano Tekota 600 LC is a trollers dream reel, the perfect cross-over reel for both freshwater and saltwater species, every species from walleye and salmon to tuna.

With line capacity, construction and advanced features, the Tekota 600 LC is a great solution for anglers who troll for both fresh and saltwater species. Great Lakes anglers will appreciate the palmable line counter for salmon trolling, and saltwater enthusiasts will appreciate the durability and strength of a Shimano.

For many types of sea-angling a slower rate of retrieve is required. In these circumstances, the Tekota 600 LC is ideal with its 4.2:1 gear ratio, whilst the addition of a level wind will also appeal to anglers looking for excellent line lay. All models are also available with a line counter to help target fish feeding at specific depths.
