Conquer NZ's toughest game fish
The Shimano Talica II 25A 25 Abyss SW Dual Butt Game Combo is engineered for serious offshore anglers who demand peak performance when battling New Zealand's hardest-fighting species. This finely tuned fishing machine is built to handle everything from Kingfish to Marlin with supreme confidence and comfort. What sets this combo apart is the rod's innovative dual butt system, allowing you to seamlessly switch between straight and bent butt configurations for maximum comfort and leverage. This combo is ready to perform, day in and day out.
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, grueling 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 aluminum 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.
HAGANE Body
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power.
Infinity Drive
Infinity Drive for lever drag reel leverages a new drag design to increase drag force while reducing side-load pressure to produce lighter rotation during high-drag situations.
X Protect
X Protect provides high-level water resistance to the inside bearing of the drive gear shaft with waterproof construction.
S-Compact Body
‘S-Compact Body provides the comfortable palming body by making the palming side plate smaller than the handle side plate.
Cross Carbon Drag
The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smooth drag release and the durability.
S A-RB Bearings
S A-RB Bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.
The Rod
The Shimano 25 Abyss SW Dual Butt Game Rod is made for one thing: conquering the toughest offshore species New Zealand waters can throw at you. This finely tuned fishing machine is purpose-built for serious big game anglers chasing Kingfish, Marlin, Swordfish, Bass, Hapuka and Bluenose.
At its heart is the revolutionary T45 graphite blank technology. This rod combines a significant reduction in weight with incredible hoop strength and sensitivity. This means less fatigue for you during those long battles, while still giving you the power to haul in serious catches and the feel to detect the most subtle bites. Equipped with only the best componentry, including top-tier Alps Roller guides and heavy-duty Fuji Silicon Nitride guides, you're guaranteed optimal line management and reduced friction, even when a powerful fish is stripping line under extreme load.
What truly sets this rod apart is its innovative adjustable butt, allowing you to seamlessly switch between straight and bent butt configurations at the push of a button. This versatility ensures maximum comfort and leverage, whether you're fighting stand-up or from a chair. The Shimano 25 Abyss SW Dual Butt Game Rod is a reliable choice built for day-in, day-out use by experienced offshore anglers who demand nothing less than peak performance.
