SHIMANO TALICA

The all-new Shimano Talica TAC50IIA 2-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reel sets a new standard for offshore power, speed, and smooth performance. This flagship model feature Shimano’s Infinity Drive system, reducing rotational resistance by up to 40% under load for effortless cranking during long, high-drag battles with big gamefish.

The Talica 50A reel is built around a rigid HAGANE Body to eliminate flex and deliver maximum efficiency. Upgraded Cross Carbon Drag systems provide up to 30kg of max drag, while the included Light-Line Drag Cam ensures smoother control with monofilament or lighter leaders. Shimano’s X-Protect water-resistant technology shields key internal components, extending durability without sacrificing fluid gear feel.

The redesigned S-Compact Body features a palming side plate that is 6% smaller than the previous generation, offering improved comfort and fishability. With enormous drag power, high-speed gearing, and refined ergonomics, the new Talica A 50II is built to dominate the toughest saltwater conditions.
