Smooth drag is very important and one that Shimano prides itself upon throughout the product line. Talica is no exception to the rule. However, being able to fish 3 to 4 line classes heavier than you would normally on a reel of its size makes Talica more fun to fish since you spend less time fighting your tackle and more time fighting the fish. 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, the Talica Single speeds are specifically designed for fishing heavy PowerPro Hollow-Ace with short Fluorocarbon topshots. The 8 & 10 sizes will fish 50 pound PowerPro Hollow-Ace with ease, while the 12 & 16 sizes can utilize up to 100 pound Hollow-Ace!

A masterpiece

Probably the nicest reel Shimano makes. In the smaller sizes the single speed makes more sense to me. The size 8 just a bit larger than a talica 12.

Handles big fish with ease. Smooth as silk and powerful as a tank. Nothing bad about it.

I was looking for a light weight, single speed, compact, lever drag reel with a speedy retrieve. The Shimano Talica TAC8 was exactly what I was looking for. Silky smooth drag, strong cranking power, easy casting, and durable finish. Ive taken it out over a dozen times and just hosed it down afterwards, looks like I just took it out of the box. I do wish it was slightly lighter and more compact.
Pros
  • Smooth drag, durable finish, easy on/off clicker, easy to cast, cracking power, great looking reel
Cons
  • Wish it was a little more compact and lighter (like the Okuma Andros), and a deeper cut-out on the frame for spool thumbing.

Looking to buy the talica 10 single speed and the trevela tvc 50-100 my butterfly jigging rod. What size bft cld this outfit handle. Thanku for your help.
1 Answer
50lb class fish would be ideal on that setup, but you could realistically land a 100lb class fish on that setup. The 12 has a much more capable drag if you plan on getting into larger fish.

Is this the new Talica 2 reel?
1 Answer
The Shimano TAC10 Talica Reel is not the new Talica. We have sold this model since 2010.
