Two speeds, serious stopping power

The Shimano Talica 40IIA 2-Speed Talica Dual Butt Game Combo 5ft 6in 80lb 2pc pairs the Talica 40IIA 2-Speed with the Talica dual butt roller rod rated 80lb. The compact Talica packs a two-speed gearbox and lever drag into a small frame, and the 80lb rod gives it plenty of backbone. Made for big fish.

The Reel
The new Shimano Talica 40IIA 2-Speed Lever Drag Game Reel is engineered for serious offshore anglers demanding nothing less than peak performance. Bridging the gap between the popular 25 and 50 sizes, this 40 size reel offers incredible versatility for targeting strong species in the most challenging conditions New Zealand can throw at you. Its innovative Infinity Drive technology delivers up to 40% lighter rotation during brutal battles and high-drag situations, ensuring you can keep winding when the fight gets tough, all while a silky-smooth 50lb Cross Carbon Drag provides the stopping power needed for those trophy catches. The Hagane Body provides a high rigidity frame that eliminates flex, letting you leverage its unparalleled winding power from the 1. 7:1 low gear ratio. With a comfortable S-Compact Body reducing angler fatigue and Shielded A-RB bearings for corrosion-resistant smoothness, this reel is a true workhorse.

The Rod
The Shimano Talica Dual Butt Roller Game Rod is built for heavy offshore game fishing, combining Shimano's High Pressure Carbon (HPC) construction with Biofibre reinforcement and Diaflash technology to maximise lifting power, minimise blank twist and provide strength under heavy loads. The full ALPS RX roller guide train provides smooth, consistent line flow when fishing heavy drag settings with monofilament or braided line. The Custom Carbon Dual Butt System is supplied with both a straight butt and bent butt, each featuring a Shimano Channel Lock reel seat. This gives you the flexibility to choose the butt configuration that best suits your offshore setup, while the 5ft 6in 80lb line rating makes the rod suited to targeting powerful game fish such as marlin, tuna and swordfish
