I did a search on the topic reel and can't find a review on the Shimano Tiagra 30.
I have a line on a used one for $200 that looks brand new.
Just wondering what the reputation of this reel is with the membership.
Thanks,
Steve
Never opened one but I have a few tiragras that have a ton of miles on them that still work fine.
Thanks Swami805!
For $200 I don't think I can go wrong but would like more input.
For big fish, you really can't get the higher drag ranges needed. I generally would not recommend it. :-\
Thanks for the input Alan.
I've fished the 50W as a kite reel, worked great on fish to 240 pounds. I've fished a 50 a few times, never a problem.
However, I've never fished a 30 so don't know what you might expect. But,,,,,$200.00 seems like a very good deal for any application up to 100 pound line.
Or, you might spend $500.00 or more for a stronger reel. I think I might try the 30.
Good luck though, It's an interesting question.

I took too long, it is sold.
