Shimano Talica 12IIA & 16IIA: The Ultimate 2-Speed Lever Drag Performance

The Talica 12IIA and 16IIA are the benchmark for 2-speed lever drag performance, once again setting the standard as Shimano's flagship reels. With ultra-smooth reeling and powerful drag performance, these reels are engineered to conquer long battles with trophy game fish.

Infinity Drive technology amplifies drag force and reduces side-load pressure, delivering up to 30% lighter rotation in tough battles and high-drag situations. X-Protect technology elevates water resistance, keeping your reel in top shape even in the harshest conditions.

With the addition of the Light-Line Drag Cam, these reels offer versatility with a lower drag curve, making them perfect for anglers fishing with monofilament or lighter fluorocarbon leaders. Built with HAGANE Body, made from highly rigid aluminum, these reels reduce weight, eliminate flex, warp, and distortion, and deliver smooth reelingwith minimal power loss, even in challenging conditions.

The S-Compact body design has been further refined, making the side plate 6% smaller than before, offering even more precision and ease of use.
