Shimano Talica 25 Review: Power, Precision, and Now an Even Better Handle
The Shimano Talica 25 has long been a favorite among big game anglers for its strength, speed, and refined engineering—and the latest version only strengthens its reputation.
Designed as a high-performance lever drag reel for serious offshore fishing, the Talica 25 combines a compact body with incredible drag power and line capacity, making it ideal for tackling species like tuna, marlin, wahoo and dorado.
One of the most noticeable improvements in the latest model is the newly upgraded handle. Compared to the previous generation, this handle is significantly more solid, robust, and ergonomically designed, giving anglers better leverage, cranking power, and comfort during extended fights. The handle upgrade is more than just cosmetic—it makes a tangible difference when targeting hard-pulling fish in deep water or strong current.
Key Features:
• High-speed gear ratio for rapid line recovery
• One-piece cold-forged aluminum frame for maximum strength and rigidity
• Cross Carbon Drag system delivering smooth and consistent drag pressure
• Compact design with large spool capacity—perfect for braid or mono setups
• Improved handle design: solid, secure, and confidence-inspiring under load
Whether you’re live baiting or trolling the Talica 25 is engineered to perform. The upgraded handle is a welcome addition to an already exceptional reel—making it one of the best tools you can have in your arsenal for targeting powerful pelagics.
Great combo:
Talica 25 + Shimano speedmaster + 80lbs braid
