Shimano Talica II Lever Drag Reels – 12II, 16II, 20II & 25II
The Shimano Talica II Lever Drag Series represents the pinnacle of lightweight big game performance. Designed for anglers targeting bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, wahoo, marlin, and other hard-fighting offshore species, the Talica delivers exceptional cranking power, silky-smooth drag, and legendary Shimano reliability in a compact, lightweight package.
Built around Shimano’s rigid HAGANE Body, the Talica II features a cold-forged aluminum frame, precision-machined stainless steel gears, and a waterproof Cross Carbon Drag system capable of delivering incredible stopping power while maintaining smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight. The 2-Speed shifting system allows anglers to instantly switch from high-speed line retrieval to maximum low-gear torque, giving you the advantage when battling trophy fish.
Whether you’re fly-lining live bait, fishing sinker rigs, trolling, or dropping knife jigs on offshore banks, the Shimano Talica II is engineered to perform under the toughest saltwater conditions.
