The Shimano Talica II is a compact two speed lever drag reel built for big game fishing from a boat, targeting large and powerful sea fish. It is designed for stand up fishing with braid, and an interchangeable CAM is included to set the drag up for monofilament. Low gear gives huge cranking power in the fight, while high gear brings baits and lures back quickly. The handle is on the right.
The InfinityDrive Double Drag design gives roughly 30% smoother rotation without widening the reel body, and X-Protect keeps salt water and dirt out of the internals. The S-COMPACT body reduces weight and size so the reel sits comfortably in the hand. Carbon cloth drag washers deliver strong, consistent drag that is adjusted quickly with the lever, while brass gears, an aluminium spool and shielded A-RB bearings keep everything running smoothly.
