The Shimano Talica II Conventional Reels are specially designed for fly-lining live baits with heavy braids and short fluorocarbon leaders.
The Talica II's include all the features needed in a specialty conventional saltwater reel including a compact design, high and low 2-speed gearing, a castable lever drag system and a high line capacity all in a durable, corrosion resistant package.
The Talica II's also feature Shimano's new E.I. surface treatment which drastically increases the corrosion resistance of the reel. E.I. is used on the spool, frame and sideplate (the most common spots where corrosion begins). This coupled with the use of S A-RB (shielded anti-rust bearings) and drain holes to allow saltwater to escape the reel make for one of the best saltwater reels ever created.
The Shimano Talica II Conventional Reels have the following features:
