If you're looking for gear that's reliable, high-quality and won't break the bank, this combo will get the job done.

The Reel
The Shimano Talica 8 Jigging Reel is built on solid engineering principles that puts this reel in a league of its own. This series offers a high-speed retrieve that you can use for jigging up brutal Kingfish from offshore structure where speed can make all the difference or use it to target Marlin and Tuna trolling lures or pitching out a bait to a fired up pelagic.

Each model has a one-piece cold forged (for extreme strength) and machined Aluminium frame, this is treated with a proprietary surface process for cutting-edge corrosion protection. Shimano then added a lightweight cold forged aluminium spool, oversized HEG (High Efficiency Gearing) gears, waterproof carbon drag system and 6 S-ARB bearings for super slick operation.The Talica has been constructed to withstand massive drag pressures and the carbon drag system has been waterproofed (when engaged) to handle salt water spray.And what's more the High Efficiency Gearing means that it has the power to fight fish well above its weight class.

Metal Series
Metal frames not only keep moving parts in precise alignment, they also feature the use of the latest anodising, plating and painting techniques for a beautiful and durable finish.

Cold Forged Aluminium
The Talica's spool provides increased strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

Shielded Anti-rust Bearings
Anti-rust Bearings are made of stainless steel that has been through the A-RB process. At least 10 times more corrosion-resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. It also features shields on both sides of the bearing to reduce the possibility salt or sand and allow the bearings to spin faster and longer.

The Rod
The Shimano Backbone Overhead Boat Rod continues Shimano's dedication to producing superb quality rods at a genuinely reasonable price. It's a heavy duty rod built on Carbon blanks, finished with top quality SEA guides and bindings. Solid and reliable.
