Shimano Talica II 25 Abyss SW Stand Up 2-Speed Game Combo 5ft 6in 30-50lb 2pc

Serious gear for serious fish

Talk about sturdy! The Shimano Talica II 25 Abyss SW Stand
Up 2-Speed Game Combo strikes the perfect balance between
top end performance and durability. Matched to target big fish,
this set is perfect for any serious Big Game angler.

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.

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 comes from
the Shimano Abyss range of blue water-centric rods, which have
utilised the best rod-building technology available. This has led
to a range of dynamic, lightweight but very strong rods, that can
tame the most powerful species like Kingfish, Bass, Hapuku, Tuna,
Billfish and Broadbill Swordfish.

The design brief from the top was clear – engineer a series of rods
that not only look the business cosmetically from the tip to the
butt section but must complete MSL tests of well over specified
line ratings at 45 degrees and 60 degrees respectively, also, the
Shimano ABYSS range needed to be able to handle the tough rigours
of day-to-day charter work – no easy task! So Shimano NZ in
conjunction with Tony Orton from Offshore Adventures testing began
and with only minor tweaks from the first cut samples the Shimano
ABYSS range was born. Literally hundreds of hard fighting kingfish,
hapuku, huge sharks and billfish have been caught using the entire
Shimano ABYSS range of rods!
