Shimano Talica A 2-Speed Conventional Lever Drag Reel
Shimano's redesign of the flagship Talica A sets the industry benchmark again for 2-speed lever drag reels with ultra-smooth reeling and powerful drag performance. The addition of Shimano's innovative Infinity Drive technology leverages a new drag design to increase drag force while reducing side-load pressure to produce up to 40% lighter rotation during tough battles and high-drag situations. The silky-smooth Cross Carbon Drag now has a maximum drag pressure of up to 50 pounds, and combined with a new low-gear ratio and a redesigned handle configuration within some models, Talica A produces unparalleled winding power. The new generation of Talica A now features X-Protect technology to boast high-level water resistance in vital areas to improve durability without sacrificing a light gear feel. An included Light-Line Drag Cam provides added versatility with a more gradual drag curve for anglers fishing lighter line systems. PUSH THE LIMITS: Shimano's all-new Talica A is the pinnacle of performance anglers need to battle the toughest fish in the harshest conditions.

Contact Us with your request and we will promptly spool your reel and contact you with the exact length of braid to add to your order.
