Raise the bar.
The Shimano Talica II 25A is built for anglers who want serious game fishing performance in a lighter, more versatile setup. Sitting perfectly between compact and heavy-duty, this reel delivers the power to handle trophy fish without the bulk of traditional big-game gear.
With InfinityDrive, the Talica 25A produces higher drag pressure while reducing resistance — giving you smoother, easier winding during long fights. The HAGANE Body ensures zero flex under load, while X-Protect keeps everything running in harsh saltwater environments.
Power, control, and precision — all in one.
