Shimano Talica TAC25II 2-Speed Lever Drag Reels

The Shimano Talica TAC25II 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel is designed as a true multipurpose weapon – a jack of all trades, capable of targeting adult yellowfin and bluefin tuna, striped marlin as well as some smaller blues and blacks, sailfish, and record class wahoo and dorado. You can jig with this reel, chunk with it, throw pitch baits, bottom fish, the list goes on. The TAC25II is easily the most popular Talica we sell here at J&H because of the true versatility, as well as the unbelievable raw power. Oversized carbon drag washers pump out a ferocious 45# drag, more than enough to tangle with the true beasts of the open ocean. This is a 2 speed reel, so feel free to utilize the quick high gear (5.2:1) for jigging or quick bait checks, and then drop down to the very powerful 2.3:1 low gear when into a fish for steady and noticeable gains. You’ll love the new High Efficiency Gearing system inside the TAC25II which replaces the older main gear with a new oversized main gear that has smaller teeth resulting in amazing gear meshing. The cranking power is dramatically increased compared to previous models due to the HEG, and that comes very much in handy with a 200 plus at the end of the line. The Shimano Talica TAC25II 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel is handcrafted in Japan using cold-forged and machined aluminum for the frame, sideplates, and spool (which by the way holds well over 700 yards of 80# braid).
