Comments about Shimano Shimano Tyrnos 30 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel:
I bought this reel online after waiting for months. Backorder situation was very bad.
Worth the wait though. I've always used Penn but wanted something smoothe and light for tuna trolling around the FADS. This reel is perfect for this application. We use plastic Yozuri minnows mostly and with this rig your are always ready if something big comes along. The gearing is great. On our last trip I hooked two fifty (50) pounders on the quick retrieve (5x1)and the low gear made quick work of them.
Only thing I'll change is the handle. I see there are power handles available for the twenty and thirty models.

Comments about Shimano Shimano Tyrnos 30 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel:
This reel is manufactured very well with a great warranty and the people at shimano to a great job of taking care of their buyers. This is a great sharking and other big game fishing reel that is very strong and very smooth. The only problems that i had with it were its inability fir easy casting, and when the spool was loose, the line could get stuck inside of the gap between the spool and the housing itself. This is a great reel that i would recommend to everyone.
