Don't be fooled by the compactness and lightness of the Talica; this reel is a beast. Originally designed to fight big game like marlin and tuna, the Talica can also be used for jigging and bottom fishing with braid. If you are looking for a compact, maneuverable, and super-fast conventional reel, you certainly cannot go wrong with these beauties. And if you are the type of angler who appreciates cranking power, check out the 2-speed (II) models that shift seamlessly from high to low gear, and the larger 20II CAM and 25II CAM models which have interchangeable cams to adjust drag performance.
Based on the principle that a compact body equals less weight, smaller dimensions, and better handling compared to classic conventional reels of equal power, the Talica is truly a high-speed dream machine. Featuring a super-strong aluminum frame with an advanced, corrosion-resistant E.I. surface treatment, its compact shape fits perfectly in the hand. The waterproof drag offers remarkable power and can be adjusted instantly using the easy-access lever, while the 6 shielded A-RB bearings, brass gears, and aluminum spool ensure that everything runs as smoothly as you would expect from a high-quality Shimano reel.
