Tsunami Shield Spinning Reels
The Tsunami Shield series of waterproof spinning reels features 11 seals in the 3000 and 4000 models and 13 in the 5000 and 6000 Shield sizes, and each Shield's internal sealing system creates a watertight barrier at all of the locations where salt water could reasonably be expected to penetrate the reel, especially in the larger sizes. Their hybrid all-metal constructions include precision-machined aircraft aluminum, precisely-stamped and tempered aluminum parts, and heavy duty protective anodizing to keep the reels turning like new, season after season. The combination of these top-tier designs features and precisely mated components is what make the Tsunami Shield series of spinning reels a serious competitor in the world of cost-effective surf, kayak, and inshore boat reels.

*All reels will be backed with 20lb Clear Berkley Trilene Big Game Monofilament to fill the spool at no additional cost if the ordered length of braid alone does not fill the spool. To have your reel spooled with straight braid, either: 1. Order a quantity of braid that will overfill the spool and we will refund the difference, or 2. Contact Us with your request and we will promptly spool your reel and contact you with the exact length of braid to add to your order. For more detailed spooling instructions, such as the additions of leaders or topshots using specific knots, crimps, and/or hollow core splices, please Contact Us as well. If you can dream it, we can rig it!
