Fly-lining live baits. Catching big fish on small leverdrags. Common sense says that this is an oxymoron. Star Drags are better casters by nature. They have lighter spools because the drags are in the gears, not the spool. Lever Drags tend to have more power in the drag system because their washers are so much larger.

These compact, one piece cold forged, high speed lever drag game fishing reels have become a real favourite within the sportfishing circuit. With the use of High Efficiency Gearing in both high and low speed, a lightweight, cold-forged and EI treated machined aluminium frame, a waterproof carbon drag systems and six SA-RB bearings, it's no wonder that Talicas stand apart from all other reels. Awesome cranking power in either gear makes the Talica a dream reel for catching that elusive big fish. The two-speed Talica is available in seven sizes 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25 and 50.
