The Shimano Tyrnos II 2-Speed series builds on the legendary reliability of the original Tyrnos by adding a precision two-speed gearbox, giving offshore anglers the perfect combination of speed and power. Designed for serious game fishing, these reels are equally at home trolling, live baiting or targeting deep-water pelagic species where the ability to instantly shift gears can make all the difference.

Constructed around Shimano’s rigid one-piece cold-forged aluminium frame, the Tyrnos II offers exceptional strength while remaining lightweight enough for comfortable stand-up fishing. The proven lever drag system provides smooth, progressive drag adjustments throughout the fight, while the oversized High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) ensures maximum cranking power with minimal effort.

The standout feature is Shimano’s two-speed transmission, allowing anglers to change from a fast retrieve to a powerful low gear, even while under heavy load. High gear is perfect for clearing line, retrieving lures and keeping up with fast-moving fish, while low gear delivers incredible torque for lifting stubborn tuna, marlin and deep-water species from the depths.

The Tyrnos 20 II is an excellent choice for medium tackle trolling, yellowfin tuna, sailfish and smaller marlin. The 30 II offers greater line capacity for larger tuna and heavy offshore applications, while the 50 II LRS (Long Range Special) is built for giant yellowfin, blue and black marlin, sharks and other true bluewater heavyweights.

Combining Shimano’s renowned engineering with rugged reliability and exceptional value, the Tyrnos II 2-Speed remains one of the world’s most trusted offshore game reels for anglers who demand dependable performance season after season.
