The Talica is the pinnacle of the small lever drag 2-speed market and was designed from the ground up to be an excellent casting reel with an ultra-smooth and powerful drag system to handle long battles. Talica reels were purpose-built to take advantage of modern braided lines such as PowerPro Hollow Ace and shorter fluorocarbon leaders. Shimano offers the Talica in 11 different sizes to tackle a variety of offshore fish, from the football-size tuna to record-setting pelagic species.

Features:

• HAGANE: HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano’s precision engineering, HAGANE is for all anglers.
• HAGANE Body Baitcasting: The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
• S-Compact Body: By making the palming side plate up to 25% smaller than the A-Side plate, the S-Compact Body allows for all-day comfort and improved fishability.
• Cross Carob Drag Baitcasting: Compared to traditional drag materials, the Cross Carbon Drag Material provides a wider range of drag settings. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.
• S A-RB Baitcasting: Made through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings, the S-ARB bearings feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing,
