The Shimano Tiagra games rods with the leading Shimano T-curve technology are already a favourite amongst game angling fraternity. According to Shimano and rumours on the game fishing circuit, the new Shimano Tiagra Hyper Game Rods for sale now leaves the old model (brilliant rods themselves) in its wake.
The most significant upgrade is the X5 blank. Roller guides sit high on a rod contributing to rod twist while under heavy load. The X5 blank all but eliminates this issue, mitigating against torsion twist as well as overloading.
The X5 blank is exceptionally light, and diameters have been reduced. Add to this Pac Bay Carbon butts and real seats, with lightweight Aftco rollers (Fuji SiC on the Sword) and you have one heck of a heavyweight game fishing rod, that super lightweight; relieving game anglers of some of the fatigue associated with drawn-out game battles when targeting marlin, tuna, sharks and other game fish with heavy equipment.
The reel seat and butt assemblies are interchangeable, adding valuable flexibility. The Chair rods come fitted with Aftco Uni owing to the extreme pressures of this type of game fishing application.
Everybody will love the Padded Winn foregrips. The leather look gives the rod a touch of class and the custom-built appeal. The grips are more than just aesthetics; however, adding another level of performance via the connected feel of the grip.
The Shimano Tiagra Hyper Rods for game fishing is a must have for the serious tournament angler. Not only has the Tiagra rod been upgraded, but it has also remained around the same price as the previous model and, in some cases, a little cheaper.
The Shimano Tiagra Hyper Rods for game fishing is the ideal selection for the game charter operators as you get affordable rods with outstanding performance. They’re also the perfect choice for your game fishing adventures.

Benefits
- X5 graphite fishing rod blanks have reduced diameters, removing bulk yet adding higher torsional twist resistance as well as more excellent resistance to overloading.
- Interchangeable butts allow for flexibility. When you can rig correctly to suit anglers personal preferences as well as conditions, you’re extracting the best performance possible.
- Aftco roller guides on all models except the sword are a must for reducing the friction of heavy loads.
- Performance is even better with X5 graphite blanks, as the twist that often results from high sitting roller guides is no-longer a factor.
- If buying the sword model, the Fuji SiC guides on the Sword model soak up the heavy loads and are particularly braid friendly.
- Winn Foregrips add a new dimension to grip, and fishing comfort. Not only is performance enhanced, but the overall aesthetic is also one of a custom rod. There’s nothing quite like leather.
- Aftco Carbon butts are incredibly lightweight. The chair models utilise Aftco Uni due to the oppressive nature of the application.
The new Tiagra Hyper Game Rods for sale now are a significant technological upgrade on the previous model. The brilliant thing is, they cost no more than the previous model, and in some cases, perhaps a little less. Buy Shimano Tiagra Hyper rods for game fishing now.
