Shimano Talica 20 BFC

The Talica is the pinnacle of the small lever drag 2-speed market and was designed from the ground up to be an excellent casting reel with an ultra-smooth and powerful drag system to handle long battles.

Shimano’s Talica 20 BFC represents the pinnacle of modern day game and sport fishing performance. BFC stands for “billfish concept”, and while lots of billfish — from sails to swords — will be no doubt caught on these reels, they are also set to find favour among anglers pursuing tuna, kingfish, mackerel, wahoo, sharks and a host of other bluewater targets, whether trolling, live baiting or pitch baiting. And make no mistake, the casting credentials of these reels are also first class. Built to take full advantage of the latest generation of braided lines including the likes of PowerPro Hollow Ace, these Talicas BFCs are also at home when spooled with a full load of monofilament, or with a mono’ top-shot over braid. The choice is up to the angler.

A cold-forged Hagane body provides the ultimate in rigidity, while the Cross Carbon drag system ensures smooth performance: season after season and fish after fish. Throw in S-ARB bearings throughout and long-term durability is also guaranteed.
