Salt-Tough. Water-Tight. Ready for the Rip.

The Tsunami Shield II Spinning Reel is built for anglers who demand rock-solid reliability in harsh saltwater—from jetties and surf to inshore flats and near-shore wrecks. An all-metal body, water-tight 12-seal design, and CF3 carbon-fiber drag deliver the stopping power you need without the weight you don’t.

Why It Outperforms Other “Budget” Saltwater Reels

• 12-Seal Water-Tight Construction – Critical components stay dry and smooth, even after repeated dunkings or spray. 

• Sealed CF3 Drag System – Carbon-fiber washers generate smooth, high max-drag while resisting heat fade on long runs. 

• All-Metal Chassis & Hybrid Rotors

  • Sizes 2500–4000: lightweight graphite rotor + A-Drive digitally-cut aluminum main gear for silky retrieves.

  • Sizes 5000–8000: aluminum rotor + B-Drive brass/aluminum main gear for extra torque on big fish. 

• 5 + 1 Dual-Sealed Stainless Bearings – Corrosion-proof smoothness you can feel.

• One-of-a-Kind Sealed Anti-Reverse – Instant hook-sets with zero back-play. 

• Braid-Ready, Forged Spool – Skip backing and pack on maximum line capacity. 

• Machined Handle w/ Round Power Knob – Positive, non-slip control when you’re cranking down on a trophy striper or snook. 

Built for Coastal Versatility

Whether you’re tossing plugs for false albacore, hopping bucktails for fluke, or soaking bait for red drum, the Shield II’s light weight and rugged sealing make it the ideal upgrade for any saltwater setup.
