The new Shimano Talica is no exception to the rule.\nHowever, being able to fish 3 to 4 line classes heavier than you would normally on a reel of its size makes the Talica more fun to fish since you spend less time fighting your tackle and more time fighting the fish.\nThe Shimano Talica comes with pre-installed with an L.R.S. (Long Range Special) style drag cam, which is designed to provide maximum drag output, for heavy settings, with heavy line.\nThe Talica Single speeds are specifically designed for fishing heavy braids with short fluorocarbon topshots.\nTechnical Characteristics\n\n Compact, High Speed, Castable Lever Drag, with High Capacity\n E.I.
