Shimano Talica 25 Abyss SW 2-Speed Stand Up Game Combo 5ft 6in 50-80lb 2pc

Plenty of muscle to take on Big Game

The Shimano Talica 25 Abyss SW 2-Speed Stand Up Game Combo is the perfect setup if you’re looking for a fast, light, strong and durable rod and reel combo for big game fishing.

The Reel
A game changer for Kiwi anglers looking to “downsize” their game
fishing tackle and take full advantage or a more ergonomic way to
fish for Kingfish, Bass and Striped Marlin, the Shimano
Talica II 25 2-Speed Game Reel is a compact but powerful
beast. It offers a high-speed retrieve that you can use for jigging
up brutal Kingfish or use it to target Marlin and Tuna. What’s
more, this model comes with the addition of replaceable drag cams
to allow top level performance with braided or monofilament lines.
Designed from the ground up to be an excellent casting reel with an
ultra-smooth and powerful drag system to handle long battles.

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 Stand Up Game Rod is light,
tough, and designed to tame powerful species like Kingfish, Bass,
Hapuku, Tuna, Billfish and Broadbill Swordfish.Tough enough to
handle the rigours of day-to-day charter work.
