Melton Tackle Tuna Lifter & Shimano Tiagra Stand-Up Combos

Looking to battle big fish with stand-up gear? Look no further than the Melton Tackle Tuna Lifter/Shimano Tiagra Stand-Up Combos. We are the authority on stand-up angling. If you’re going to engage in battle with beasts without use of a chair, trust our experience. We have assembled the Melton Tackle Tuna Lifter Rods paired up with highly reliable Shimano Tiagra Reels, producing combos that are optimized for putting maximum pressure on fish while battling from a harness.

Melton Tackle has designed the ultimate in U.S. built composite graphite/glass short curved butt rods which we appropriately named TUNA-LIFTER. They are hand built by our rod building specialists, in our own facility, using only the finest in wind-on guides from AFTCO, and triple wrapped in our signature black and gold with metallic blue trim. They are the ultimate tool, the culmination of our extensive knowledge of stand-up fishing and the stresses that it puts on the angler.

Paired with the Melton Tackle Tuna Lifter rod, offering superb durability and performance, is the Shimano Tiagra 2-Speed Conventional Reel. The Shimano Tiagra reel boasts an improved ratcheting lever drag and 2-speed gearing system. The HAGANE steel body provides a highly rigid and impact resistant frame. Fitted with anti rust stainless steel ball bearings, the Shimano Tiagra is as smooth as it is tough making the Melton Tackle Tuna Lifter/Shimano Tiagra Stand-Up Combo a formidable combination.
