Description

TALICA is Shimano's lever-drag conventional reel for large-fish power fights, from rock and shore live-bait fishing to offshore live-bait and fukase fishing and trolling. A HAGANE-concept one-piece frame and S-Compact body deliver rigidity, backed by the X-Protect waterproofing system and a waterproof-sealed carbon cross-washer drag. A 2-speed gear system shifts instantly between a fast retrieve gear and a lower, more powerful fighting gear, and the Infinity Drive double-drag structure raises maximum drag force while cutting handle-turning resistance at high drag by over 30% compared with the previous generation. A nylon-line Light Line Cam is included alongside the standard cam.

This listing spans the 12II, 16II, 20II, 25II and 40II sizes. Per Shimano's official guidance, 12II/16II suit rock- and boat-based live-bait and dropping techniques and kihada (kihada/yellowfin tuna) live bait up to 50kg; 20II suits live-bait fishing for kue (kue/kelp grouper) and large kanpachi (kanpachi/greater amberjack); 25II suits live-bait and fukase fishing for kihada over 100kg and kuromaguro (Pacific bluefin tuna); and 40II handles kuromaguro over 200kg and kajiki (marlin/billfish).

Information

The drivetrain

A HAGANE-concept one-piece frame and S-Compact body give Talica a rigid, planted feel under load, and the 2-speed gear shifts instantly between a fast retrieve gear and a lower, more powerful fighting gear when a big fish digs in.

What it's built for

Built for large-fish power fights from rock and shore live-bait fishing to offshore live-bait, fukase and trolling: 12II/16II for kihada up to 50kg, 20II for kue and large kanpachi, 25II for kihada over 100kg and kuromaguro, and 40II for kuromaguro over 200kg and marlin.

How it fishes

The Infinity Drive double-drag structure raises maximum drag force while cutting handle-turning resistance at high drag by over 30% versus the previous generation, and X-Protect waterproofing keeps the carbon cross-washer drag sealed through wash-down after wash-down.

Spools and spares

Match to a matching-class stand-up or rod-holder game rod on 60-130lb mono or PE8-16, sized to the target species and technique.
