Shimano Tekota 800PGLCA

The Shimano Tekota A TEK800PGLCA Level Wind Conventional Reel carries Tekota’s legacy of durability and performance into a fully redesigned lineup built for hard-fighting fish. Shimano engineers overhauled the legendary Tekota with improved gear strength and faster line retrieval, giving anglers a battle-tested reel that’s ready for demanding days on the water.

Built on a HAGANE Body for increased durability and reeling performance, Tekota A models are designed to stay solid under pressure. CoreProtect increases corrosion protection, while the Cross Carbon Drag adds stopping power when it counts. For a more confident, comfortable grip, the ergonomic S-Compact Body design improves in-hand feel, and a loud clicker delivers clear, unmistakable feedback. S A-RB (Shielded Anti-Rust Bearings) round out the build with added protection for long-term performance.

From upgraded strength to refined comfort, Tekota A delivers the dependable feel Tekota is known for—enhanced with modern protection and drag power for anglers who expect consistent performance season after season.
