This reel includes Shimano’s signature smooth drag, which provides added durability and allows for a fun fishing experience.

The added layer of E.I Anti-Corrosion Surface Treatment ensures an enhanced life-span of the reel by increasing the corrosion resistance.

Loaded with an L.R.S (Long Range Special) style drag cam, Talica Single speeds are specifically engineered for heavy Power Pro Hollow-Ace fishing with short Fluorocarbon topshots. As such, the Shimano Talica 2 Speed Lever Drag Reels are ideal for fly-lining live baits or chunks into the chum line on Long Range stand-up tuna boats.

This reel has been optimally tuned to fish with a variety of line-size/power combinations, providing the angler with the ability to tackle all sorts of sea creatures. Right from the compact TAC8II and TAC10II suitable for 40-50lb Power Pro with a 30-40 Fluorocarbon leader, to the larger TAC12II and TAC16II designed for 65lb-80lb Power Pro with a 60lb-80lb Fluorocarbon topshots, Shimano Talica accommodates a plethora of fishing tactics.

The Enhanced Power and Performance of the Shimano Talica 12IIA

Paveway for an exhilarating fishing experience with the Shimano Talica 12IIA Two-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reel. Designed to surpass the needs of serious anglers, the Talica 12IIA takes fishing to a whole new level.

Despite this robust performance, the reel doesn’t compromise on a lightweight feel. Thanks to the HAGANE Body, flutter, twist, and distorting of the body is eliminated, leading to a smooth reeling experience and minimal power loss.

The Shimano Talica 12IIA is not only about performance but also about aesthetics and control. With a 6% smaller palming side plate and an improved S-Compact body design, it offers exceptional maneuverability and control.
