Shimano Tekota 800PG Reel

The Shimano Tekota 800A PG Baitcaster Reel has to be one of the most versatile overhead reels on the market offering a level wind option for anglers to cover almost every form of fishing. If you are chasing snapper on slow jigs, stray lining or even live baiting for kingfish the Tekota range from Shimano should be considered. The level wind feature makes it a great boat reel and allows the skipper to avoid unnecessary tangles. 

Featuring Hagane Body and an S-Compact Body design, the Shimano Tekota A is more comfortable and tougher than ever. The addition of CoreProtect provides extra protection against saltwater intrusion through water-repellent seals. By increasing the gear diameter, strength has been improved by 50% when compared to the previous model.

Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing. The result transfers your actions directly into cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

S-ARB
These bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing’s rotation.

CoreProtect
Total protection. The concept of CoreProtect is simple – to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel that require protection: the roller clutch, body, and line roller.

Cross Carbon Drag
This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
