TALICA A Fishing Reel
The addition of Shimano’s innovative Infinity Drive technology leverages a new design to increase drag force while reducing side-load pressure, resulting in up to 40% lighter rotation during tough battles and high-drag situations. The silky-smooth Cross Carbon Drag now has a maximum drag pressure of up to 66 pounds, and, combined with a low gear ratio and redesigned handle configuration (in some models), Talica A produces unparalleled winding power. The new generation of Talica A features X-Protect technology to deliver high-level water resistance in key areas, improving durability without sacrificing a light gear feel. An included Light-Line Drag Cam provides added versatility with a more gradual drag curve for anglers fishing lighter line systems.

The drag system holds strong even in heavy fish fights. The smooth rotation makes casting easier and the reel feels balanced in the hand. I’ve used it on both freshwater and saltwater trips and it’s proven reliable.

Great for light to medium line systems. The drag curve is more gradual, which helps prevent line breakage. It’s a bit heavier than expected, but the performance is worth it.

The Infinity Drive makes a noticeable difference in how the reel handles during tough pulls. The water resistance is solid, and the gear feels responsive without being too stiff.
