TAILWALK Speaky 2000S XGX

A spinning reel with a smooth and silky winding feel. For technical games that require lightness and delicate operability, such as bass, native and area trout, light rockfish, and horse mackerel. An essential item for finesse fishing with a delicate rod and light line. Single knob creates light winding. Felt washers are used for smoother drag start, assuming small target fish.

Smooth Drag
I would like to explain the drag of the Speaky. The 2000 & 2500 sizes are designed to be used frequently for bass, trout, egging, light salt games, etc., and use lug-free felt washers that prioritize good start of light lines. The 3000 and 3500 sizes use tough array carbon drag washers that can withstand sudden big one shots in light offshore games such as light shore jigging, surf, red snapper, and super light jigging. All Speaky items have a drag setting with a gentle adjustment range, and the Keep Range Drag System is used to effectively utilize the "drag range you want to use the most". This avoids the "extreme tightening and loosening" that is often seen when adjusting the drag knob during a fight, and allows you to maintain moderate tension within the "drag range you want to use". It is suitable for the current fishing scene where light lines are often used. It is a beginner-friendly setting. *Stick-slip test, which proves the drag's smoothness and stability, shows stable slippage that maintains a constant value. (*Numerical reference: 1.8kg setting for 30m pull)

Lug-free felt washer
The drag setting for the 2000 & 2500 prioritizes smoothness with a lug-free felt washer. Drag image: 2000 & 2500 / Turn 180 degrees based on about 700g as a standard, and turn it 180 degrees to DOWN by about 200g. Turn it 180 degrees to UP by about 250g. (Reference from other companies: 350g~400g range at 180 degree setting) *The higher the drag standard value (the more you tighten it), the larger the range per 180 degree turn.

Tough Array Carbon Drag Washer
The drag setting of the 3000 3500 is a tough array carbon drag washer that prioritizes durability. Drag image: 3000 3500/About 700g as a standard, loosen 180 degrees and it will be about 300g DOWN. Tighten 180 degrees and it will be about 350g UP. *The higher the drag standard value (the more you tighten it), the larger the range per 180 degree turn.

Smooth Gear Aluminum Machine Cut
The gear part, which is the heart of SPEAKY, uses Tailwalk's first 3D aluminum machine cut gear. It shows the best rotation in its class. This manufacturing method, which carefully scrapes off the gear surface, is a technique that can only be achieved by factories with high technical skills and precision, and is generally used in high-end models. It improves the precision of each gear, smoothness between the gears, and creates an exquisite feeling. The material of the drive gear is ultra-duralumin material. It is lightweight and strong enough to withstand harsh environments. Material: After repeated field tests against red sea bream, sea bass, and offshore power fighters over a long period of time, it has been improved and is now a spinning reel that can withstand the use of fishing guides and professional fishermen who go out to sea every day.

Gear ratio for versatile use
The "winding feeling" changes greatly depending on the balance of the body, gear, and each part. It can be said that the gear adjustment has been particularly strict. It adopts a highly versatile gear ratio that is useful for various fish species and situations, from sea bass and red sea bream fishing that mainly focuses on "winding" to bass fishing and rockfish games where you quickly pick up and shoot. While maintaining the smoothness of the best in its class, the slight clearance between the parts creates a "manual feel without over-winding," which leads to good sensitivity in practice, "knowing the pre-bite" and "feeling the changes in the lake."

Main shaft
The super duralumin main shaft creates a lightweight and smooth oscillation system.

Handle knob shape
2000 has a 50mm EVA flat knob, 2500 has a 55mm rubber T knob, 3000 has a 60mm rubber T knob, and 3500 has a 60mm EVA round knob size and handle length and knob shape are selected based on the target fish. The handle is a screw type that tightens the drive gear and handle directly to reduce handle rattling.

Body material
SPEAKY's body, rotor, and other major parts are made of T.S.C.B, an engineering plastic (polyamide) that contains reinforced carbon components. Compared to conventional resin body molding, it is possible to achieve a thin and hollow design with the same strength, achieving a lightweight and high rigidity with a high balance. It also has the characteristic of being resistant to corrosion. The reel foot center is slightly rearward to improve the body balance.

Veil Arm
SPEAKY's veil uses an integrated stainless steel veil arm that does not snag the line. It has a sharp return when casting, and after casting, the veil arm with clear tension returns firmly, eliminating line twist and loose winding. It also plays a role in preventing line trouble in the next cast.

Rotor Balance
SPEAKY is particular about the winding comfort and is particular about rotor balance. We chose the most balanced one from several prototypes by size. It thoroughly eliminates shaking during retrieval and achieves a smooth winding comfort. In addition, it creates a uniform line winding condition. The low pre-load can be experienced even in fishing that focuses on retrieval and fishing in deep areas where there is resistance.

Spool
Original spool design and shape. Achieves uniform line winding. The standard spool is deep-groove type, and has the capacity to wind large amounts of thick to ultra-thin lines. A shallow-groove spool is available as an option (sold separately) for the 2000 & 2500 series.

Waterproof function
Equipped with rubber packing in the drag section. Prevents water from entering the drag washer. Rubber packing and cap are also used in the one-way section, making it possible to withstand use for as long as possible.
