Push your offshore limits with the Talica A reel and Shimano Tiagra Ultra Nano Alps Roller rod—smooth drag, power, and precision for big game fishing!
The Reel:
Push the limits.
The Talica A raises the benchmark for compact lever-drag reels with ultra-smooth winding and powerful drag performance.
Featuring a completely re-designed Infinity Drive drag system the Talica A is capable of producing increased drag force with reduced side load pressure, this results in smooth and consistent line release while facilitating up to 30% lighter handle rotation in high-load situations.
Improving on the S-Compact body design of the previous generation, the side-plate of the Talica A is 6% smaller while it’s rigid aluminium Hagane construction reduces overall weight and eliminates body-flex under load to provide optimal power transfer and reeling efficiency. By integrating X-Protect technology at key locations in the body structure, the Talica A has achieved improved water resistance, effectively increasing longevity and durability without sacrificing the light feeling of the gearing. A light-line drag cam is included, this provides added versatility and gives anglers the option to fish with a lower drag curve for light monofilament lines. Push the limits.
Comfortably challenge the strongest fish in the harshest conditions with Talica A.
