Shimano Talica / Ultimate Billfish Braid Game Fishing Combo

The Rolls Royce of our hand selected Gamefishing Combinations, this outfit will be difficult to upgrade from. Matching Shimano’s precisely engineered Talica 2 Speed reel with a hand crafted Ultimate Rod’s Billfish Braid series rod gives the angler the utmost confidence to do battle with giant tuna or marlin from a standup position, allowing for both comfort and power. Braid backing and a pre tested IGFA top shot joined via PR knot gives you the ability to fish a higher line class from a more nimble, yet uncompromisingly strong package.

Please note: colours or brands of mono or braid line can differ according to availability.

 

Shimano Talica 25 2SP / Ultimate Braid Series 15-24kg Straight Butt (Winthrop Roller Tip)

Rod – Ultimate Rods Billfish Braid Series Rod

With today’s trend leaning towards braided backing on most game reels, Ultimate Rods have utilised high quality SiC (silicone carbide) guide inserts for ultimate heat dispersion while alleviating any risk of thin braided line jumping between a roller guide and its frame. This guide setup is particularly common with rods designed for deep drop sword fishing where debris in the water column may catch on the line and clog the rollers rendering them somewhat useless.

Reel – Shimano Talica 2 Speed Overhead Reel

These compact, one-piece, cold forged, high-speed lever drag reels are a real favourite on the sportfishing circuit. With the use of High Efficiency Gearing, a lightweight, EI treated machined aluminium frame, Cross Carbon Drag and 6 SA-RB bearings, it’s no wonder that Talica two speed reels stand apart.
