Shimano Speedmaster LD II Overhead Reel

Compact lever drag overheads with dual gears and castability — the new Speedmaster LD are multi-purpose reels that will slot right in to a number of offshore fishing scenarios. Available in two sizes, the new Speedmaster Lever Drag overheads feature S Concept Design, a single piece frame, dual speed Hagane Concept gears, 4 SA-RB bearings, generous line capacities — even more so if utilising braided line such as Power Pro — and a drag range to match. On top of all this, they can also be cast, making them incredibly versatile light/medium tackle reels.

HAGANE BODY – The HAGANE Body is produced from highrigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

HAGANE GEAR – The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.

S COMPACT BODY – Compact body design to reduce weight and allow for better grip and leverage while fighting a fish.
