Shimano Tekota TEK500HGA Level Wind Star Drag Conventional Reel
Shimano Tekota TEK500HGA Levelwind Star Drag Conventional Reel
The Shimano Tekota TEK500HGA is a troller's dream — a versatile levelwind conventional reel engineered to perform from freshwater walleye runs to offshore tuna battles. Built with Shimano's CoreProtect water resistance technology, the Tekota delivers serious corrosion protection so you can fish hard in the harshest conditions without worrying about your gear.
Key Features
- CoreProtect Water Resistance – Advanced sealing technology dramatically increases corrosion resistance for freshwater and saltwater use
- S-Compact Ergonomic Body – Smaller, palm-friendly profile gives you better control during long trolling sessions and hard-fighting fish
- Loud Clicker – Audible strike alarm lets you know the moment a fish hits, even when your attention is elsewhere on the boat
- Easy-to-Replace Anti-Fogging Lens (LC Models) – Keep your line counter reading clear in any weather
- Freshwater & Saltwater Crossover – One reel built to handle everything from walleye and salmon to tuna and grouper
The Reel Built for Serious Trollers
Imagine running multiple lines off the back of the boat, the Tekota's clicker screaming as a fish slams your bait — you grab the rod, palm the compact body, and the CoreProtect internals handle the rest. Whether you're dragging crankbaits on a freshwater lake or pulling lures offshore in the Gulf, the TEK500HGA is the reel that earns its place on every rod holder.
