The Shimano® Tiagra Conventional Reel utilizes Shimano's® L.R.S. style drag curve. This curve allows the reel to handle extremely heavy line and the drag pressure where the angler is not as concerned about using a Warning position. By starting the curve directly from the Freespool position, the Tiagra gives anglers a wider variety of useable drag settings.
