The Talica II (two-speed gearbox) are compact, lightweight lever drag multi-reels designed for fishing with braided lines. The Talica is extremely versatile, has enormous braking power and its extreme cranking power allows it to tame even the largest fish. Despite its compact size and low weight, the Talica is a true powerhouse. Originally developed to tame large surface predators such as marlin and tuna with poppers and stickbaits, the Talica can also be used very well for jigging and bottom fishing with braided lines. If you are looking for a compact, easy-to-handle and super-fast multi-reel, you have found your dream reel with the Talica. If you focus on powerful crank performance, you should take a look at the 2-speed models (II), which switch seamlessly from a high to a low gear. The compact design makes the Talica a lightweight among the multi-reels with lever drag, which is also very easy to use. Equipped with a super-strong aluminum frame with an advanced and corrosion-resistant E.I. coating, the Talica is compact in size and fits perfectly in the hand. The waterproof brake delivers remarkable stopping power and can be instantly adjusted with the easy-to-use slide brake, while the 6 shielded A-RB ball bearings, brass gears and an aluminum spool ensure everything runs as smoothly as you would expect from a high-quality Shimano reel would.
