Shimano Talica A 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel — Push the Limits
The all-new Shimano Talica A represents the next evolution of Shimano’s iconic 2-speed lever drag reels, setting a new standard for performance in offshore game fishing. Designed for anglers who demand superior strength, smoothness, and precision, the Talica A integrates cutting-edge technologies and refined engineering to conquer the toughest conditions and the most formidable fish.
At the heart of the Talica A is Shimano’s innovative Infinity Drive technology, delivering up to 40% lighter rotation under load while generating incredible cranking power. This revolutionary drag design reduces side-load pressure during high-drag battles, ensuring ultra-smooth performance and effortless winding. The enhanced Cross Carbon Drag system now provides up to 50 lbs of maximum drag, offering the stopping power you need to tame giants of the deep.
Built to withstand saltwater’s harshest challenges, the Talica A features X-Protect water-resistant technology in critical areas, shielding internal components for exceptional durability without compromising the reel’s light and responsive feel. The rigid Hagane Body eliminates flex under pressure, translating angler effort directly into fighting power, while the compact profile (S Compact Body) ensures maximum handling comfort.
For added versatility, each Talica A includes a Light-Line Drag Cam, perfect for fine-tuning drag performance when fishing lighter line classes. The reel’s 2-speed system, featuring a powerful low gear and a high-speed gear, allows you to adapt instantly to changing fight dynamics. Shimano’s S A-RB bearings provide long-lasting smoothness, and the ergonomic handle design (updated in select models) maximizes winding leverage when it matters most.
Whether targeting marlin, tuna, or other pelagic predators, the Shimano Talica A is engineered to help you push the limits.
