Shimano SpeedMaster II Conventional Reel
The Shimano SpeedMaster II conventional reels are extremely durable and reliable, with high maximum drag power and a smooth, ultra-wide range of drag adjustability. Its rigid Hagane Body prevents misalignment of moving parts under the heaviest loads. Plus, a spare drag cam is included for optimal use with monofilament lines. Though it is offered at an attractive price point, Shimano made sure that this reel is able to perform at similar levels to its higher priced brethren. The SpeedMaster reels are only available in right hand retrieve.
