Shimano Talica II 12 & 16 | Trolling for southern bluefin tuna with Lee Rayner

TALICA 12IIA & 16IIA is here! 🔥
The benchmark for small two-speed lever drag performance, the all-new Talica 12IIA and 16IIA raise the bar as Shimano’s flagship overhead reel again with ultra-smooth reeling and powerful drag performance to conquer long battles with trophy game fish.
The addition of Shimano’s innovative InfinityDrive technology leverages a new drag design to increase drag force while reducing side-load pressure to produce up to 30% lighter rotation during tough battles and high-drag situations. The new generation of Talica now features X-Protect technology to boast high-level water resistance in vital areas to improve durability without sacrificing a light gear feel. The included Light-Line Drag Cam provides added versatility with a lower drag curve for anglers fishing monofilament or lighter fluorocarbon leaders. These new reels feature a HAGANE Body made of highly-rigid aluminum to reduce the reel’s overall weight while eliminating reel body flex, warp, and distortion to allow for smooth reeling with minimal power loss during challenging battles. Improving on its S-Compact body design, the palming side plate is an additional 6% smaller than the previous generation.
Push the limits with Shimano’s all-new Talica 12IIA and 16IIA, in stores now!

Nice looking reels. I may have to pick up the 12. I just hope they hold up as well as the older models.

[@mayskyfishing8501]

Nice reels. I am planning to get the 12, would you suggest an all purpose lighter rod to match this reel? For live baiting, trolling and might be some jigging as well? Ideally something available in US for warranty purposes. Thanks 🙏

[@DJ-lz9dh]

Can I suggest investing in rod holders that are made of leather and sit around your waist so the rod end (tip) stops digging into wherever you sit the rod on your person (don't even know if they are still manufactured). My dad used to have one.

Is Lee using the terez TZC66H and TZC70M in this video ??????

[@mexikanox1118]

What lbs test

[@tenochca1313]

What type of terez rod did you pair with the 16?

[@ShimanoAustralia]

Thanks for the contact, If trolling the longer 7ft model - Medium 30-65lb will be perfect for you, If live baiting the 5'10" 2 pc 30-50lb will be a better option. Good luck.

[@wang556]

@@ShimanoAustralia what rod was he casting the 12ii with?

[@ShimanoAustralia]

@@wang556 That would be the 5'10 medium overhead Terez rod.

[@leapsabove5660]

I've just purchased bot 12 n 16 models and I want to live bait , troll and bottom bash. I only want one rod per reel. What do you suggest??
