johnno Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Hi fellow fishraiders I have come across a new size class in the Tyrnos range by Shimano Shimano has released in the US a Tyrnos 12 and 16 and also 2speed versions Tyrnos 12II and 16II 2 speed have ratios of 5.0:1 and 2.0:1 and in high gear on both 35in per crank 2speed is 14in per crank in low weights range from 31.6 -26.8 spool capacity on the 16 are 20/520, 25/420, 30/350 spool capacity on the 12 are 15/420, 20/300, 25/250 and drag is 13.0lb on strike and 33.0lb on max drag Tyrnos 12 below pictured in single speed Tyrnos 16II pictured below i think these might be tuff as nails and could be a great small reel for jigging. which put out good drag settings. could be a little slow but What do you think good idea or not?????

netic Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 With the current value of the aussie dollar it is dirt cheap to puchase one from the US and have it sent here...no duty on them either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
