The Talica II is a compact, lightweight two-speed lever drag reel built for stand-up fishing with braid. Supplied with an additional drag cam for optimised monofilament performance, it delivers immense drag pressure and smooth, powerful cranking to take control of hard-fighting, big fish.
The Talica has been designed for stand-up fishing styles targeting big ocean monsters. Although designed for braided lines, an additional drag cam is supplied to create the best drag for fishing with mono lines too.
A 30% lighter rotation force is achieved with InfinityDrive double drag construction, while the width of the reel remains the same.By incorporating X-Protect technology the best protection of the reel is guaranteed for any intrusion of saltwater that can damage the inside of the reel.
The S-COMPACT body equals less weight, smaller dimensions, and easier handling than equivalent drag multipliers. Talica is truly a high-speed dream machine that fits perfectly in the hand.In low gear you have unlimitless cranking power and torque to reel in big fish during the fight, while in high gear you can reel in your bait quickly.
The carbon cloth washers deliver remarkable power and durability and can be adjusted instantly using the easy to access lever, whilst the 7 shielded A-RB bearings, brass gear and an aluminium spool, make sure everything runs as smoothly as you would expect from a top quality Shimano reel.
Shimano Talica II Big Game Fishing Reel Features
- 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.
- The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power.
- INFINITYDRIVE for lever drag reel leverages a new drag design to increase drag force while reducing side-load pressure to produce lighter rotation during high-drag situations.
- X PROTECT provides high-level water resistance to the inside bearing of drive gear shaft with waterproof construction.
- S-Compact Body provides the comfortable palming body by making the palming side plate smaller than the handle side plate.
- The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.
- S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.
