Shimano 24 Talica II 20A 2-Speed Lever Drag Game Reel

Shimano 24 Talica II 20A stands as the ultimate overhead reel for serious New Zealand game fishermen.

Built on Shimano's legendary Hagane body, this reel delivers the rigidity you need when a trophy kingfish or pelagic takes line—zero flex, pure power transfer. Engineered for the unforgiving offshore environment, the Talica II excels across every scenario: live baiting for kingfish, slow trolling for pelagics, or dropping deep for bottom dwellers.

Its compact profile belies serious cranking power, and the 2-speed lever drag system gives you precision control from light presentations to full-throttle battles. The standout feature is Shimano's Infinity Drive technology. This innovative drag design increases drag force while reducing side-load pressure on the reel body—translating to up to 30% lighter rotation during gruelling high-drag situations.

When you're locked in a long fight, that efficiency matters. Your arms will thank you. Built for anglers who demand reliability when it counts most!
