Shimano - 19 Speedmaster 16LD2S

The Shimano 19 Speedmaster 16LD2S is a powerhouse overhead reel built around a highly rigid Hagane body that eliminates flex under extreme loads. Designed for New Zealand’s rugged offshore environments, it perfectly transitions from dropping deep ledger rigs for hapuku to live-baiting for monster kingfish. With a smooth two-speed gearing system, you can quickly shift between high-speed retrieves and low-gear winching power during intense battles. Hagane Body Construction – Delivers supreme rigidity and zero twist, ensuring all your cranking effort translates directly into fighting power. Two-Speed Gearing System – Seamlessly shift between 5.7:1 and 3.1:1 ratios at the push of a button for optimal retrieve speed or raw winching torque. Cross Carbon Drag – Provides a smooth, ultra-wide range of drag adjustability with a maximum stopping power of 18kg to halt stubborn pelagics. S A-RB Bearings – Features 4+1 shielded anti-rust bearings that repel saltwater intrusion for long-lasting smoothness in harsh marine conditions. Deep Spool Capacity – Easily holds up to 845yds of 50lb braid, giving you the capacity needed for deep-water drops over isolated reefs. Ergonomic Drag Lever – Allows for precise mid-fight drag adjustments while managing live baits or working mechanical jigs.
