SHIMANO Talica II A Two-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reel

The Shimano Talica II A redefines two-speed lever drag performance with cutting-edge engineering that builds on the success and reliability of the flagship Talica. Infinity Drive technology delivers up to 40% lighter rotation during intense battles by increasing drag force while reducing side-load pressure to keep you in control. Cross Carbon Drag reaches 50 pounds of maximum pressure, paired with a redesigned low-gear ratio for unmatched winding power.

The compact S-Compact Body is 6% smaller than the previous generation, reducing fatigue on long days without compromising strength. X-Protect technology seals vital areas against saltwater and the elements, giving you peace of mind that your gear won't fail in harsh conditions. Dual Drag Cam system lets you optimize performance for braided line or monofilament, while the included Light-Line Drag Cam adds versatility for lighter tackle applications. Shimano's HAGANE Body construction provides the rigid foundation these reels demand by virtually eliminating body flexing.

Features:

• Infinity Drive: A new drag design that makes it easier to gain line on stubborn fish. You get more control and cranking power when fishing heavy drag settings with less fatigue during long fights. 
  
• X-Protect: X-Protect treatment keeps saltwater from invading internal components, preventing corrosion and bearing failure. 
  
• HAGANE Body: The rigid HAGANE Body ensures all of your power goes right into moving the fish by virtually eliminating body flex.
• S-Compact Body: A smaller palming side plate gives you more comfort without sacrificing any power.
  
• Cross Carbon Drag: Cross Carbon Drag allows you to make precise adjustments through a wider drag range for smoother performance and fewer lost fish.
  
• Dual Drag Cam: A more gradual drag curve that makes your adjustments less aggressive and easier to fine-tune when fishing lighter line. Great for kite fishing and live baiting.
