Shimano Talica & Talica II – compact powerhouses for heavy sea fishing
Talica and Talica II (2-speed) are compact, lightweight multiplier reels with lever drag, specifically developed for use with braided line. Despite their compact size, these reels deliver enormous braking power and impressive reeling strength – perfect for tackling really big fish.

Don't be fooled by the compact size – Talica is a real powerhouse.
Originally developed for casting lures and jigs at large surface-feeding species such as marlin and tuna, the Talica also works great for jigging and bottom fishing with braided line. If you are looking for a slim, easy-to-use and extremely fast reel, the Talica is the obvious choice. For those who appreciate extra power when reeling in, the Talica II (2-speed) models offer the ability to switch seamlessly between high and low gears – and the larger 20II CAM and 25II CAM models also allow you to adjust the drag characteristics with interchangeable CAM systems.

Slim format – big performance
The Talica is built around a slim body design, which results in lower weight, smaller size and smoother handling compared to traditional multi-reels with equivalent drag power. The reel's super strong aluminium frame has an advanced corrosion resistant EI finish and is designed to fit perfectly in the hand. The waterproof lever brake provides enormous power and can be easily adjusted on the fly.

Performance in every detail:

• 6 shielded A-RB ball bearings

• Precision-machined brass gears

• Light and strong aluminum spool

• Waterproof, powerful braking system

• Two-speed system (on Talica II) for optimal control in every situation
