The Reel
The Shimano Talica 12 II 2-Speed Jigging Reel features an unbelievable 2-speed retrieve system, something incredibly rare for a reel of its size. This allows you to easily change between high speed retrieve to lower speed retrieve with just a flick of a button. The unique two speed function makes it incredibly easy not only to hook the fish, but to land them as well.

Unbelievable cranking power
The use of High Efficiency Gears in high and in low speeds sets Talica apart from all reels currently offered in the market. No longer will you have to decide between power in low gear or speed in high gear. Talica is the best of both worlds and lets you save your energy for hoisting that fish up for a photo!

Tough drag system
The tough drag system allows you to fish three or four line classes heavier than you would normally do on a reel of its size. Now you get to spend less time fighting your tackle and more time fighting the fish.

Compact design
When you first lay your eyes on a Talica - it's intriguing. When you feel what it's capable of - it's amazing! Don’t let Talica's small stature and lightness fool you, this reel is a beast. It also features double anodised cold forged frame and spool, which makes it extra strong and resistant to harsh saltwater conditions.

Unique anti-corrosion feature
This feature drastically increases the corrosion resistance of the reel. E.I. is used on the spool, frame and sideplate - the most common spots where corrosion begins. This, coupled with the use of S A-RB (Shielded Anti-Rust Bearings) and drain holes to allow saltwater to escape the reel whether sitting on a shelf or vertically in a rack, gives anglers so much confidence in the reel's durability.

The Rod
The Shimano Abyss SW Overhead Jigging Rod has been designed, tested, redesigned, tested, tweaked and tested again by Team Shimano and Tony Orton from Offshore Adventures and his busy charter crews.

Shimano's latest range of blue water-centric rods is built on ultra-tough Shimano T45 graphite blanks and fitted with top quality Fuji SiC/SiN II guides and Aftco/Fuji reel seats. The all-new Shimano Abyss SW Overhead Jigging Rod is a dynamic, lightweight yet very strong tamer of the powerful blue water species like Kingfish, Bass, Hapuku, Tuna, Billfish and the mighty Broadbill Swordfish. It's engineered not only to look awesome from the tip to the butt section but it also completes MSL tests of well over specified line ratings at 45° and 60° respectively. And not only that, it's built tough enough to handle the rigours of day-to-day charter work. Get ready to do some serious fishing!
