Shimano 23 Talica 2-Speed
The Shimano 23 Talica 2-Speed is a compact, high-speed lever drag reel favoured by sportfishers for its exceptional casting ability and impressive line capacity. Designed for demanding offshore fishing, it offers smooth, reliable performance and precise drag control, making it ideal for targeting powerful game fish. Its two-speed mechanism allows quick adjustments between fast retrieves and powerful cranking, enhancing versatility on the water. This reel combines durability with advanced engineering to meet the needs of serious anglers.
A one-piece cold forged and machined aluminium frame has cutting-edge corrosion protection. Shimano then added a light-weight cold forged aluminium spool, a waterproof Cross Carbon Drag System and six S-ARB (seven in the 12 and 16) bearings for super slick operation. The use of HEG in both high and low speeds sets talica apart from any other reel, providing incredible cranking power.
