Talica Two Speed Lever Drag Reels

Shimano Talica Two Speed Lever Drag Reels

With Talica 2 Speed Reels we set out to break the mold. We wanted to make a 2-speed lever drag reel that could underhand a sardine 40 feet to the chum line with ease. We also wanted to increase the fishable drag capabilities of a small diameter reel to fish with heavy braided line and short fluorocarbon top shots that anglers are using to land huge fish.

Fly-lining live baits and catching big fish on small reels. Common sense says that this is an oxymoron. Star drag reels are better casters by nature, they have lighter spools because the drags are in the gears, not the spool. Lever drag reels tend to have more power in the drag system because their washers are so much larger. We also know, from our successes with HEG (High Efficiency Gearing) in our star drag reels, that we could make the ultimate 2-speed reel: one with fast line pickup compared to traditional 2-speeds but with unbelievable crank power in either gear ratio. So when you drop it into low on a circling Tuna at deep color, instead of gaining a couple inches, you are gaining around 2 feet.
