The smallest Talica TAC8 holds monofilament line as light as 15 pounds at 280 yards. Two speed models only weigh 2-3 ounces more than their single speed counterparts. Weight variations between single and two speed models aren’t much though. That being the case, I won’t divide the sections this time.Īs for weight difference, 2 speed reels have more parts and pull harder towards the center of the earth. However, the only differences in reel specs between Talica one and two speed models is weight and rate of line retrieve.
It helps to discuss the models separately because of the variation in reel specifications. I normally like to split this section up when covering both single and two speed reels like I did with the Accurate Boss Fury.
I’ll start by listing the single speed models: Īnd here’s the 2 speed series model numbers: Shimano manufactures at total of 11 Talica models with single and two speed versions available in all but the larger 20, 25, and 50 model reels (which only come 2 speed). Two speed Talicas can be identified by a dash then 2 at the end of the model number while one speed reels leave off that ending. Shimano Talica Models, Specs, & Features Reel ModelsĪll Talica reels come built with a lever drag though models split between 2 speed and single speed versions. 6 anti rust bearings and a cold forged spool round out the features of a highly functioning reel. They also use HEG gearing and plating which increases the gear strength dramatically. Shimano places the Talica proudly within their newly coined “Metal Series” of reels. Talica reels offer angler many other features besides cranking power. It gives tough cranking power and covers more than just a couple inches with each turn of the handle. Talica design removes the spool drag allowing for a high gear ratio. This works out to a reel that has great low gear crank, but doesn’t cover much ground. Reels that integrate spool drag also sacrifice high gear ratio performance. Product: Shimano Talica Single & Two Speed Conventional Lever Drag Reels.
