Shimano Talica Single Speed Reels
Smooth drag is very important and one that Shimano prides itself upon throughout the product line. Talica is no exception to the rule. However being able to fish 3 to 4 line classes heavier than you would normally on a reel of its size makes Talica more fun to fish since you spend less time fighting... your tackle and more time fighting the fish. Pre-installed with an L.R.S. (Long Range Special) style drag cam which is designed to provide maximum drag output for heavy settings with heavy line the Talica Single speeds are specifically designed for fishing heavy PowerPro Hollow-Ace with short Fluorocarbon topshots. The 8 & 10 sizes will fish 50 pound PowerPro Hollow-Ace with ease while the 12 & 16 sizes can utilize up to 100 pound Hollow-Ace!

Shimano Talica Single Speed Reels Reviews
A masterpiece

Probably the nicest reel Shimano makes. In the smaller sizes the single speed makes more sense to me. The size 8 just a bit larger than a talica 12.
Great Reel

Handles big fish with ease. Smooth as silk and powerful as a tank. Nothing bad about it.
Awesome reel

I was looking for a light weight, single speed, compact, lever drag reel with a speedy retrieve. The Shimano Talica TAC8 was exactly what I was looking for. Silky smooth drag, strong cranking power, easy casting, and durable finish. Ive taken it out over a dozen times and just hosed it down afterwards, looks like I just took it out of the box. I do wish it was slightly lighter…

I fish from Hudson River to Cape Cod, mostly, stripped bass, black fish, sea bass, fluke and porgies, which Talica single speed do you recommend.

The Talica 10 would be the best model size for a all around reel fishing for Striped Bass, black fish, fluke and porgies.

considering a Talica 10 for fishing the florida keys - mostly Tarpon. should I get a single speed or two speed version? would also like to use it for yellowtail in san diego, maybe some light bottom fishing (flounder, small snapper, sea bass)
David

The reel would work for those applications. The two speed would make it easier to winch in big fish but it is not absolutely necessary for the fishing that you are doing.

if I am primarily fishing in Long Island Sound for strippers, is there any reason why I'd want to spend the extra money on the talica II versus the I?
