Recommend this reel to be your budget friendly lever drag. - A solid lever drag real for the price. Great fish fighting power, can real almost effortlessly even under extreme load. Drag says 33lb I believe, I put it to the test. When cranked down fully the fish could still outpull the Drag, but to be fair this black drum was a fish for a larger size reel to fight. Only con per say is... the lever drag takes some time to set where you like it, and isn't always consistent in resistance. But if you're willing to play around and figure out what the reel likes to be happy, it's overall well worth the money. Review: Strong, Smooth, Reliable, and it has a great drag. - My favorite shark and big redfish/black drum reel! This thing is smooth, has a great drag, and has some serious ability. I have handled sharks up to 350# with this thing and it did not break a sweat. ## Features - A lightweight; dependable lever-drag reel with level-wind for line control - Outfitted with stainless steel gears and Anti-Rust Bearings making this reel incredibly durable and resistant to corrosion in saltwater ensuring many years of reliable service - Designed for the demands of using downriggers and for all types of saltwater trolling and jigging techniques - Constructed with an aluminum spool; reinforced graphite frame and graphite side plates; making these reels lightweight; solid; and tough - Max Drag: 33 lbs. / Gear Ratio: 4.3:1. / Weight: 17.1 oz. / Line Retrieve: 26" / Bearings: 4BB + 1RB ā€“ PowerPro Line Cap: 40/555;50/550;65/450 ā€“ Mono Line Cap: 14/480;17/400;20/300 ā€“ Retrieve: Right ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0014436WK | | Bearing Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Bearing Number | 3BB+1RB | | Best Sellers Rank | #469,930 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #1,358 in Fishing Reels | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Color | Multi | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (108) | | Fishing Line Type | Monofilament | | Fishing Reel Line Retrieve | 25 Inches | | Fishing Reel Maximum Drag | 6.35 Kilograms | | Fishing Technique | Trolling | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00022255004497 | | Hand Orientation | Right Hand | | Handle Material | Aluminum, Stainless Steel | | Included Components | Shimano TR2000LD TRITON 2000 CHARTER SPECIAL | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 1"L x 1"W x 1"H | | Item Type Name | Shimano TR2000LD TRITON 2000 CHARTER SPECIAL | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | SHIMANO | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | CHARTER SPECIAL | | Other Special Features of the Product | Rust Resistant | | UPC | 000222554497 022255004497 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | SEE MANUFACTURER | ## Product Details - **Bearing Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Color:** Multi - **Fishing Technique:** Trolling - **Hand Orientation:** Right Hand - **Handle Material:** Aluminum, Stainless Steel - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds - **Material:** Metal - **Model Name:** CHARTER SPECIAL - **Special Feature:** Rust Resistant ## Images ![Charter Special - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619NoQey1nL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Iā€™m going trout fishing and was wondering how much 2lb mono I could fit on it?** A: Just enough... **Q: Does this reel have a clicker?** A: I have two of these.
