Shimano Reel (Tekota 700) and Rod Aquatip

Shimano’s Tekota reels continue to dominate the medium to heavy levelwind overhead market, simply because these no-nonsense reels are packed with features traditionally found only on the company’s top-of-the line overheads. With extra strong gears and sensible retrieve ratios of 4.2:1, robust level winds, and super smooth Dartanium drag washers that release line without a hiccup, these reels are versatile enough to be used in a wide range of fishing situations, but have also proven to be excellent braid reels. The Shimano Tekota 700 is a level wind boat fishing reel that has a line capacity of 410 yards of 25lb line, 350 yards of 30lb line or 290 yards of 40lb fishing line. The Shimano Tekota fishing reel has 4 anti rust ball bearings. A great feature of the Tekota reel is the level wind system which means that the reel automatically winds the line on nice and evenly to the spool of the fishing reel without any effort.
