Shimano Talica Tac 50 2 Speed Game Reel

The Shimano Talica is Shimano's lever drag series. It offers a high-speed retrieve that you can use for jigging kingfish and other species where speed can be the difference. It can also be used to target marlin and tuna, trolling lures or pitching out a bait for Marlin.

The Talica is available in both single speed and 2 speed options providing a wider range of applications from straight out lure fishing to battling deep water species. Each model has a one-piece machined Aluminium frame treated with a proprietary surface process for cutting-edge corrosion protection.

The Talica also features a lightweight cold forged aluminium spool, oversized HEG (High Efficiency Gearing) gears, waterproof carbon drag system and 6 S-ARB bearings for super smooth operation.

The Talica has been constructed to exert massive drag pressures for their respective sizes and a carbon drag system has been waterproofed (when engaged) to handle salt water spray.

The Talica range features 4 sizes 8, 10, 12 and 16, while the High Efficiency Gearing means that they have the power to fight any NZ species well above their weight class.

All making this a perfect reel for deep drop swordfishing, trolling for marlin and other heavy fighting pelagic species. But it does not stop there, the Talica 50II is also perfect for deep puka and bluenose fishing!

Shimano Abyss SW 5'6" 2pce 60-100LB Adjustable Butt Game Rod 

The Shimano ABYSS range of 7 blue water centric rods have utilized only the best rod building technology available that has created a dynamic, lightweight yet very strong tamer of the powerful blue water species like kingfish, bass, hapuku, tuna, billfish and the mighty broadbill swordfish.

The design brief from the top was clear - engineer a series of rods that not only look the business cosmetically from the tip to the butt section but must complete MSL tests of well over specified line ratings at 45? and 60? respectively, also, the Shimano ABYSS range needed to be able to handle the tough rigours of day-to-day charter work - no easy task!!
