Dominate the depths and tame trophy fish
The Shimano Talica 25A 2-Speed Grappler Tuna Jigging Combo is the heavy-duty setup you need when targeting monster fish. By pairing the flagship Talica 25A reel with the precision-engineered Grappler Type J rod, Shimano has created a combo that turns gruelling battles into managed victories. If you’re serious about your big game fishing, this elite, ready-to-go combo is a must-have for your arsenal. Grab yours today and get sorted for your next offshore mission.
The Reel
The all-new Shimano Talica II 25A 2-Speed Lever Drag Game Reel raises the bar even further as Shimano’s flagship reel with ultra-smooth reeling and powerful drag performance to conquer long, gruelling battles with trophy game fish. The addition of Shimano's innovative Infinity Drive technology leverages a new drag design to increase drag force while reducing side-load pressure to produce up to 30% lighter rotation during tough battles and high-drag situations.
This new generation of Talica now features X-Protect technology to boast high-level water resistance in vital areas to improve durability without sacrificing a light gear feel. The included Light-Line Drag Cam provides added versatility with a lower drag curve for anglers fishing monofilament or lighter fluorocarbon leaders. The HAGANE Body is made of highly rigid aluminium to reduce the reel's overall weight while eliminating reel body flex, warp, and distortion to allow for smooth reeling with minimal power loss during challenging battles.
The Rod
The new Shimano 25 Grappler Type J B538 OH Jig Rod combines Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank technologies to provide the next evolutionary step in both jig control and fish-fighting strength. All major performance parameters have been optimised to reduce angler fatigue, while maximising your chances of a successful encounter with even the toughest fish in the sea.
The amazing lure control offered by this exceptional jig rod is also no accident — it results from hundreds of hours of exhaustive analysis of blank action, loading and response, all aimed at putting fish-catching power in the hands of serious fishos.
