Shimano 24 Talica 2 Speed Overhead Reel

Built for elite offshore sportfishing, the Shimano 24 Talica 2 Speed Overhead Reel delivers exceptional cranking power, ultra-smooth drag performance and compact high-speed versatility for serious bluewater anglers.

The Shimano 24 Talica 2 Speed Overhead Reel is the latest evolution of Shimano’s premium big game lever drag series, engineered for anglers targeting the world’s toughest offshore species. Compact yet immensely powerful, the Talica combines high-speed line pickup with incredible low-speed cranking torque, making it one of the most versatile overhead reels available for offshore sportfishing.

Ideal for trolling, livebaiting, casting and offshore jigging, the Talica is perfectly suited to targeting tuna, marlin, kingfish, GT, dogtooth tuna and wahoo throughout Australian waters. Its one-piece cold forged and machined aluminium frame delivers exceptional rigidity and corrosion resistance, while the lightweight cold forged spool provides smooth casting performance and controlled line flow.

Shimano’s waterproof Cross Carbon Drag system delivers smooth and consistent stopping power under extreme drag pressure, while High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) transforms angler input directly into powerful winding performance. InfinityDrive technology reduces handle resistance under load, helping anglers maintain control during brutal offshore battles.

With S A-RB shielded bearings, X-Protect water resistance and Shimano’s rigid Hagane Body construction, the Shimano 24 Talica 2 Speed is purpose-built for demanding bluewater conditions and long-term offshore reliability.
