With a maximum drag capacity of 25kg and designed for use with braid or mono, this reel will handle anything the monsters lurking around you, can throw at it. This reel features a waterproof aluminium main body, cover, and rotor, and forged aluminium alloy spool. The main shaft is made from hardened stainless steel for strength, then encased in 8 sealed precision stainless rust resistant ball bearings (RRB) to keep it all running as smooth as silk. An instant anti-reverse roller bearing in the rotor, anti-twist line roller and a huge waterproof carbon drag, keep the braid under control while fighting your fish. The high speed 5.2:1 retrieve ratio will recover 1.13m per handle turn. This reel is supplied with an oversized hypalon comfort grip, you will exert effortlessly and feel comfortable to land and enjoy your fishing.

The Rod
More and more game fishermen are now travelling further a field to take on the largest tropical species. This poses a problem, as most boat rods are single or 2-piece, making travelling difficult. To solve this problem, the 24kg TiCA Expert 704 Travel Spinning Rod is made with a 4-piece blank and packs down to a neat 590mm to fit your luggage. It uses a multi purpose 2.1m blank, made with composite graphite construction and features an aluminium detachable butt, with spigot joints through the rest of the blank to retain a smooth curve in this powerful rod. The titanium oxide double-foot guides will cope with braid and the contoured EVA grips have finger grooves for comfort when the battle is underway. This rod will be equally capable when trolling lures or casting poppers with a TiCA Talisman spinning reel.
