Speed. Power. Comfort
The Shimano Talica 8 Grappler Type J B683 Jigging Combo is the perfect blend of strength and power that's built to last. With this pairing you get a Shimano Talica 8 reel that has a high-speed retrieve, designed for targeting brutal Kingfish where speed can make all the difference. Plus the Shimano Grappler Rod provides all the power and comfort you need for those long, tough fights. Tough fish will know who's boss.
The Reel
The Shimano Talica 8 Jigging Reel is built on solid engineering principles that puts this reel in a league of its own. This series offers a high-speed retrieve that you can use for jigging up brutal Kingfish from offshore structure where speed can make all the difference or use it to target Marlin and Tuna trolling lures or pitching out a bait to a fired up pelagic.
Each model has a one-piece cold forged (for extreme strength) and machined Aluminium frame, this is treated with a proprietary surface process for cutting-edge corrosion protection. Shimano then added a lightweight cold forged aluminium spool, oversized HEG (High Efficiency Gearing) gears, waterproof carbon drag system and 6 S-ARB bearings for super slick operation.The Talica has been constructed to withstand massive drag pressures and the carbon drag system has been waterproofed (when engaged) to handle salt water spray.And what's more the High Efficiency Gearing means that it has the power to fight fish well above its weight class.
The Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type J B683 Slow Jig Overhead Rod is 6ft 8in long - a specific length designed for the taper of the rod to work its magic on the jig. The sensitive tip on the rod allows for good line tension control to cater to changing fishing conditions. And what's more it features both Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank construction for increased strength and less power loss during jerking and fighting.
