Product Highlights
CHAOS Live Bait Rod and Shimano Talica 12II A Reel Combo

The CHAOS KC 10-25lb Live Bait Composite 7ft Rod and Shimano Talica 12 II A Reel Combo brings together two of the finest names in offshore fishing to deliver the ultimate live baiting system. Meticulously matched to tackle hard-fighting pelagic species like sailfish, dolphin, wahoo, and kingfish, this setup perfectly balances advanced blank technology with an ultra-refined, high-torque lever drag reel.

Customization Option

CHAOS Rods are built one at time in our Florida shop. For that reason, we can customize your rods to meet your needs. We can alter the length of rods or grips to your preference, and change guides and components as requested. We can also personalize the appearance of your rod to match an existing set, add your initials or boat name, or completely customize the rod color, wrap, and even add an image of the target species on the rod. Some options are available online, but if you don't see exactly what you want call us at 877-337-9591 and we'll gladly accommodate your requests.


Infinity Drive winds under load

Infinity Drive winds under load

Infinity Drive moves the main shaft onto a low-friction bushing and away from the pinion gear, with a proprietary surface treatment that drops rotational torque dramatically. The result is a reel that keeps
cranking smoothly when a big fish has the rod buried — none of the staggered, hard-handle feel you get from a standard
spinner under heavy load. This is the upgrade that separates the Saragosa SW from the prior generation; it's the single
biggest reason to step up from an older Saragosa or a comparable mid-tier offshore spinner.
Ultra-Smooth, Reliable Drag Performance

Ultra-Smooth, Reliable Drag Performance

Shimano's Cross Carbon Drag provides extremely smooth startup and a wide range of precise drag settings that allow you to fish lighter leaders with confidence. Cross Carbon Drag helps maintain consistent pressure throughout any fight without jerky drag surges that can cost you a trophy fish.
Built for Offshore Live Baiting

Built for Offshore Live Baiting

Specifically optimized for 15–25 lb. line, this heavy-duty combo features tough Fuji Turbo guides and is engineered to target elite saltwater species like Sailfish, Dolphin, Wahoo, Tuna, and Kingfish.

Before you buy

Frequently asked questions.

Still unsure? Call +1-877-337-9591. You'll talk to a builder, not a sales rep.

  • Can I still get my CHAOS Rod customized when I buy it in a Rod & Reel Combo?

    Absolutely! You can still order monogramming and decal customization on your CHAOS rods, even when purchased as part of a Rod & Reel Combo!

  • Does this rod ship with a tube or sock?

    Every CHAOS rod ships in a hard-shell rod tube with a cloth sock inside. Tube carries the CHAOS logo and a SKU label so it is easy to grab the right rod out of the locker.

  • Does it ship spooled with line?

    Reels ship empty. Free spooling service with reel purchase at our Pompano Beach shop — bring your line of choice. Most tackle shops will also spool with proper tension. We do not recommend spooling at home unless you have a line winder.

  • What's the difference between the Talica II A and Tiagra?

    The Talica II A is built to be lighter, more compact and best suited for stand-up fishing and a variety of offshore applications. The Tiagra is bigger and heavier, designed primarily for big-game trolling and max line capacity. We recommend the Talica if you want high performance in a lighter package.
