Infinity Drive. 66 lb max drag.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shimano Talica A is the redesigned flagship two-speed lever drag reel that sets the industry benchmark for offshore trolling, live-baiting, and jigging. The new generation adds Shimano's Infinity Drive technology — a redesigned pinion gear structure supported by the spool shaft instead of a side bearing — which delivers up to 40% lighter rotation under heavy drag pressure. That means you crank when other reels lock up. Pair that with a Cross Carbon Drag system rated to 66 lb of max pressure, X-Protect water resistance, and the HAGANE metal body, and you've got the reel built to outlast the toughest fish in the toughest conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfinity Drive technology\u003c\/strong\u003e — up to 40% lighter rotation under heavy drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross Carbon Drag\u003c\/strong\u003e — up to 66 lb max drag, the smoothest Shimano drag performance to date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHAGANE body\u003c\/strong\u003e — rigid metal body that doesn't flex under fish load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eX-Protect\u003c\/strong\u003e water resistance on key bearings — saltwater durability without sacrificing gear feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-speed gearing\u003c\/strong\u003e — high gear for retrieve, low gear for pulling fish out of deep water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight-Line Drag Cam included\u003c\/strong\u003e — gradual drag curve for fishing lighter line systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS-Compact Body\u003c\/strong\u003e on select models — palming side plate up to 25% smaller for all-day comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — from the inshore 12 to the giant tuna 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGear Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMono Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBraid Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAC12IIA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.7:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20-350, 25-280, 30-230\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50-580, 65-400, 80-355\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\/0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.9 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAC16IIA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.7:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20-440, 25-350, 30-300\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50-750, 65-550, 80-450\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\/0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.6 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAC20IIA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.2:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30-470, 40-320, 50-260\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65-725, 80-575, 100-490\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\/0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.3 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAC25IIA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.2:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30-550, 40-420, 50-340\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65-900, 80-730, 100-620\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\/0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37.7 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAC40IIA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.1:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40-640, 50-460, 60-360\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80-1000, 100-830, 150-740\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\/0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54.7 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAC50IIA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.1:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-440, 80-340, 100-250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80-1200, 100-990, 150-890\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\/0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55.7 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll models: right-hand retrieve, two-speed, Cross Carbon Drag (66 lb max), X-Protect, HAGANE body, Infinity Drive.

Infinity Drive is the real upgrade — under heavy drag pressure most reels feel like cranking through molasses, but the Talica A keeps spinning freely. 66 lb of drag in the smaller frames is more than most anglers will ever need; in the 40\/50 it's a real tuna-stopping number. X-Protect on the key bearings means the reel actually holds up to the saltwater abuse a Talica gets used for. Backed by Shimano's 1-year warranty and the reality that these reels routinely outlast their owners' fishing careers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shimano Fishing","offers":[{"title":"12II","offer_id":48763784036609,"sku":"TAC12IIA","price":659.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"16II","offer_id":48763784069377,"sku":"TAC16IIA","price":669.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20II","offer_id":48763784102145,"sku":"TAC20IIA","price":759.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25II","offer_id":48763784134913,"sku":"TAC25IIA","price":779.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"40II","offer_id":48763784167681,"sku":"TAC40IIA","price":1179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"50II","offer_id":48763784200449,"sku":"TAC50IIA","price":1259.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2692\/2314\/files\/dupmh0shqp3ghnkh8s14.png?v=1778606428","url":"https:\/\/saltwateredge.com\/products\/shimano-talica-a-two-speed-lever-drag-reels","provider":"The Saltwater Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
