The Shimano Talica Series



Shimano Talicas

Bullbuster Ambassador The Tree Guy - "These Shimano Talicas are our go to trolling and chunking reels for the Canyons. We fill them up with hollow core braid and give them a good monofilament topshot."

Shimano Talica's are light weight heavy hitters.  These reels modernize Shimano's reel selection and are a great big game fishing option.  They make a great trolling reel, a great bottom fishing reel, as well as a light weight landbased shark fishing setup that will get the job done!
