THE TALICA IS A CASTABLE HIGH-SPEED LEVER DRAG THAT HAS BECOME A FAVOURITE OF SPORTFISHERS DUE TO ITS COMPACT SIZE AND HIGH LINE CAPACITY.
A one-piece cold forged and machined aluminium frame has cutting-edge corrosion protection. Shimano then added a light-weight cold forged aluminium spool, a waterproof Cross Carbon drag system and six S A-RB bearings for super slick operation. The use of HEG in both high and low speeds sets Talica apart from any other reel, providing incredible cranking power.
