Quality components at a great price
The
Shimano Talica 8 Grappler Type J B684 Slow Jig Overhead Combo is a feature-packed slow jig set featuring enhanced
cranking power, impressive casting power and fast retrieve, quality
components, strength and sensitivity.
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 Grappler Type J B684 Slow Jig Overhead
Rod is 6'8'' long - a specific length designed for the
taper of the rod to work its magic on the jig. The sensitive tip on
the rod allows for good line tension control to cater to changing
fishing conditions. And what's more it features both Spiral X and
Hi-Power X blank construction for increased strength and less power
loss during jerking and fighting.
Spiral X
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of
vertical fibres, an inner layer and an outer layer, both comprising
of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite
directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional
horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional
rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates
instant power transmission for precise casting and for fighting
fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral
X construction enhances your "catching power".
Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is
diagonally wrapped with carbon tape which forms an array of "X"
shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle, and the part of
the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish
species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps
during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength
and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction
delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
