Perfect blend of speed and power
The SShimano Talica 12 IIA Game Type J B538 2-Speed Jigging Combo is the perfect blend of strength and power that's built to last. With this pairing you get an ultra smooth and powerful Talica 12 IIA 2-Speed Reel, plus the new Grappler Rod provides all the power and comfort you need for those long, tough fights. Tough fish will know who's boss.
The Reel
The benchmark for small 2-speed lever drag performance, the all-new Shimano 23 Talica 12 IIA 2-Speed Jigging Reel raises the bar as Shimano's flagship reel again with ultra-smooth reeling and powerful drag performance to conquer long battles with trophy game fish. The addition of Shimano's innovative Infinity Drive technology leverages a new drag design to increase drag force while reducing side-load pressure to produce up to 30% lighter rotation during tough battles and high-drag situations.
The new generation of Talica now features X-Protect technology to boast high-level water resistance in vital areas to improve durability without sacrificing a light gear feel. The included Light-Line Drag Cam provides added versatility with a lower drag curve for anglers fishing monofilament or lighter fluorocarbon leaders. It also features a HAGANE Body made of highly-rigid aluminium to reduce the reel's overall weight while eliminating reel body flex, warp and distortion to allow for smooth reeling with minimal power loss during challenging battles. Improving on its S-Compact body design, the palming side plate is an additional 6% smaller than the previous generation.
The Shimano 23 Talica 12 IIA 2-Speed Jigging Reel is the pinnacle of performance you need to battle the toughest fish in the harshest conditions.
The Rod
The Shimano Game Type J B538 Overhead Jigging Rod is popular among jig fishing enthusiasts. This 1 piece rod is rated for use with a PE8 braid and features a high carbon blank which is incredibly light yet strong. The blank is made with a Spiral X and high power inner and outer weave, making it robust and lightweight. The rod is also fitted with Fuji series SIC guides on stainless frames, a Fuji reel seat and custom-shaped EVA grips.
