The Shimano Talica Billfish Reel a true billfish reel, a dream come true for tournament sailfish and white marlin anglers. Well suited to fish 20-30# mono, the Shimano Talica BFC Reel features a 6.7:1 gear ratio and 60" retrieve per crank, perfect for winding line tight when fishing the kite. The Shimano Talica 20BFC features an exclusive drag curve, external detent for strike position and a long life clicker.
Features
The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.
Shimano Reels proprietary EI surface treatment of the spool and body creates corrosion resistance that is more than double compared to conventional surface treatments.
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate, and handle-side sideplate. First we increased the size of the drive gear and the pinion gear to offer increased leverage and power. By using a one-piece frame that incorporates the setplate and adding a one-piece stamped sideplate, we have eliminated flex in the drive train that causes gears to bind under pressure.
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
S-Compact Body allows for all-day comfort and improved fishability by making the palming side plate up to 25% smaller than the A-Side plate.
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.
