Shimano's new Talica jig style reel features a one-piece cold forged and machined Aluminium frame
treated with a proprietary surface process for 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.
Shimano reckons this reel is capable of ultra-high drag pressures. The carbon drag system has been waterproofed (when engaged) to handle big sea sprays and splashes which become inevitable when fishing the stones or offshore dropping jigs.
The range features four sizes - 8, 10, 12, 16 available in both single and 2-speed
gearing (single speed models available first quarter 2010).
