The Shimano Talica 2-Speed Lever Drag Reels represent the peak of compact offshore performance, expertly engineered for anglers who demand strength, precision, and long-lasting reliability. Built from the ground up for exceptional casting and endurance, the Talica series combines cutting-edge Shimano technologies in a sleek, palm-friendly profile.
Constructed with a rigid HAGANE Body and Shimano’s S-Compact design, the Talica delivers powerful cranking strength and easy handling—without unnecessary bulk. The intuitive 2-speed gear system allows seamless switching between high-speed line retrieval and low-speed, torque-heavy cranking—ideal for intense fights with hard-pulling species.
Designed to perform flawlessly with modern braided lines like PowerPro Hollow Ace and short fluorocarbon leaders, the Talica features interchangeable drag cams to fine-tune drag curves for either braid or mono. Inside, Shimano’s Cross Carbon Drag system provides smooth, consistent pressure throughout the battle, while S-ARB shielded bearings resist saltwater corrosion for long-term performance.
Protected with Shimano’s proprietary E.I. surface treatment, the Talica is built to endure harsh marine environments. Whether you’re chasing school-sized tuna or trophy-class pelagics, the Talica 2-Speed reels offer the power and performance you need to dominate offshore.
