Speed. Power. Comfort.
The Shimano Talica 16 II 2-Speed and Abyss SW Overhead
Jigging Combo is a rod and reel combo matched to meet your
high speed jigging demands. The Talica 12 II Speed Reel offers a
high-speed retrieve that you can use for jigging up brutal Kingfish
from offshore structures where speed can make all the difference.
It’s also built to withstand massive drag pressures so you’re
assured to have a powerful reel in your hands. The Talica reel is
paired up with the all-new Abyss SW Overhead Jigging rod – giving
you a light and powerful combo that’s tough enough to fight the big
fish. So if you’re into speed and power, then this set is perfect
for you.
The Reel
The Shimano Talica 16 II 2-Speed Game Reel
features an unbelievable 2-speed retrieve system, something
incredibly rare for a reel of its size. This allows you to easily
change between high speed retrieve to lower speed retrieve with
just a flick of a button. The unique two-speed function makes it
incredibly easy not only to hook the fish, but to land them as
well.
Unbelievable cranking power
The use of High Efficiency Gear in high and in low speeds sets
Talica apart from all reels currently offered in the market. The
incredible power in low and in high is what makes Talica a joy to
battle big fish with. You no longer need to decide between power in
low gear or speed in high gear. Talica is the best of both worlds
and lets you save your energy for hoisting that cow up for a
photo.
Tough drag system
The tough drag system allows you to fish three or four line classes
heavier than you would normally do on a reel of its size. Talica
makes it more fun to fish since you spend a lot less time fighting
your tackle and more time fighting the fish.
Compact design
When you first lay your eyes on a Talica – it’s intriguing. When
you feel what it’s capable of – it’s amazing! Don’t let Talica’s
small stature and light weight fool you, this reel is a beast. It
also features a double anodised cold-forged frame and spool, which
makes it extra strong and resistant to harsh saltwater
conditions.
Unique anti-corrosion feature
This feature 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 whether sitting on a shelf or
vertically in a rack, gives anglers so much confidence in the
reel’s durability.
The Rod
The Shimano Abyss SW Overhead Jigging Rod has been
designed, tested, redesigned, tested, tweaked and tested again by
Team Shimano and Tony Orton from Offshore Adventures and his busy
charter crews.
Shimano’s latest range of blue water-centric rods is built on
ultra-tough Shimano T45 graphite blanks and fitted with top quality
Fuji SiC/SiN II guides and Aftco/Fuji reel seats. The all-new
Shimano Abyss SW Overhead Jigging Rod is a
dynamic, lightweight yet very strong tamer of the powerful blue
water species like Kingfish, Bass, Hapuku, Tuna, Billfish and the
mighty Broadbill Swordfish. It’s engineered not only to look
awesome from the tip to the butt section but it also completes MSL
tests of well over specified line ratings at 45° and 60°
respectively. And not only that, it’s built tough enough to handle
the rigours of day-to-day charter work. Get ready to do some
serious fishing!
