I caught a monster side-eye from my wife.
This is possibly the best comment I’ve ever read. Thank you for your service!
Classic!
😂
Me and 5 others from the Skyway Misfits out of Tampa went out on a middle grounds trip 6/9. We all took our Talica’s and had a proud moment looking at our setups leaned up against the wall before taking off. Awesome day with a limit of STUD ARS, Nightmarish Gag Grouper (my buddy Jay slayed a 35lb gag with ease), Scamp and Red Grouper. This was the first big water trip with my Tali and I was not at all disappointed. Ripping fish out of 250ft of water with the ability to crush crank through some of the meanest bottom fish I’be dealt with in a while. The sheer power of these reels is uncanny to anything I’ve seen. They are WELL worth every red cent.
Sweet combo setup, congrats.
Loved this review background music on point.
Thats a great reel…Unfortunately i got a killer deal on Penn torque series that i couldn’t refuse. Own a pair of 40n and a pair of 25n. Congrats on your new reel!
Drug up a gorgeous Red Snapper this season. 36" long. Almost 20#. The reel never broke a sweat and after we set the drag, the fish couldn't gain any more ground.
20ii has same gearing and drag specs with no need to fill 1000 yds of line.. for me bottom fishing 600yds is more then sufficient. love the talicas all we rock
I had a 25, was the best reel I’ve owned. I can’t believe I sold it to a friend. I was kinda big for my uses. Ended up with a International 16 VISX, because of the drag setting between free spool and 1. Talica 25 doesn’t have that setting. But I will say, my next reel will be the Talica 16, it will work with anything I have caught to this point. I have caught basically everything bottom fishing with the 25 and it never failed in 5 years.
I own the 16 and the 25 Both are outstanding reels...... Maybe one day I can afford that rod Capt. Mike, sweet rig congrats.....
Good looking reel and a badass rod!!
Very nice setup, that bottom gear does come in handy.
Great video and review
I don't have the Talica 25 but I do have the Talica II 12/16 and 20. My first big run was Guadalupe Island Baja Mexico where you catch the big Yellow fin Tuna. This was my first long range fishing trip and I caught a 86 pound Yellow Fin Tuna. I was using 50 pound faughthook in me for the next five years. The next 3 or 4 years were my Wahoo trips using the same Talica II 20. Two speed reels are the only way to go and Talica fits the bill.
I can agree but if your a guy trying to get into shark fishing but want something you could use for bottom fishing get a custom black okuma 30 lever drag, I love it and it'll handle a 11-12 foot tiger shark if u play it right, if your more focused on tuna and sharks then the makiara 30 2 speed is the same reel just a little bigger, 2 speed and more drag with a metal body
I use avet pro exw 30/2 .. but these look super nice as well. I'm curious what people think.
Such a nice setup
Would live to get one of these to catch some monsters here in SW Florida!
I have four Talica 25’s and two Talica 20’s for trolling and bottom fishing. My only wish, Shimano would make a louder clicker. There is no mistaking when u have a run off on a Tiagra clicker. Great reels light and strong for getting the job done!
Saludos capitan i have the penn squall 60 to bulky and heavy to keep in your hand all day i just use it for trolling .im gonna consider the talica or something in the 25 size range .keep us updated on the talica thanks
I have two of these set up w 80# power pro and paired on Star rods. I was red snapper fishing last year and kept having to pay the tax man. Put 80# floro leader on a big hook and the biggest bait I had. Tax man was approx. 8' bull shark (pretty sure bull anyway). The real handled him just fine! I however, felt like I had hooked the back of my truck and honestly, I'm not sure I ever wanna do that again! 😎 Love these reels and for the other comments, the Speedmasters are great too, especially at the price point!
How many yards of power pro do u have
Capt, Mike - I have been on the fence with this reel and after watching just purchased 2.
What size rod from Biscayne are you using?]
i dont have a 25 i have a 12 and let me tell ya that thing is a beast so i can only imagine what the 25 can do i have been wanting one but there not cheap so hopefully in the future i will own one and i mainly do red snapper fishing with mine but i have got a few cobia and amber jacks with it it always holds it ground and as smooth as u expect it to be
I have the talica 50 2 speed, talica 25 2 speed, 2 talica 16 2 speed, 1 talica 12 2 speed. I love the Shimano talica reels they are so smooth.
Specs on the custom rod you had made for this reel? Would be interested in having a couple made.
Have 2 Talica 12's and 2 Speedmaster 20's. Vove'em both, prefer staying as light as possible which the Talica's make the wallet. Toss up whether worth the extra bucks over the Speedmaster but if you can afford it just buy more of each. You won't be disappointed.
Put my T25II on a Terez TZC66XH 65-200lb braid,
fast action. Love this package a lot but you really
turned my head with that Winthrop butt combination.
Thanks for showing and bringing it to my attention.
Tight Lines..........
Almost every custom boat is rocking talicas on custom sticks for trolling. The talica BFC is used by almost every tournament sailfish/ white marlin team out there. Shimano has fishing figured out. I think I like the tac 50 better for bottom fishing because the handle is bigger and you can get more torque on it.
Also because they are donated by sponsors.. Those Japanese /Chinese companies know how to get the reels seen!
I've been thinking about getting one of those to see how it stacks up to my HX raptors.
I own the hx raptor and i love it. No issues in the four years ive owned it. Solid reel. My young cousin bought a talica 16 recently and i got a chance to try it. Its super smooth on the retrieve. One thing i prefer on my hx is the reel foot. It looks cheap for the price on the talica.
Great!!! Wich line do you use? In Europa its difficult to find 1000m blue braid arroun 80LB. Thanx!
You might change your mind if you compare this Talica 25II to Daiwa Saltiga 60II 2020 model. They are almost same size . 5 years warranty on Daiwa. Metal T-bar handle much better than rubber on Talica. Not easy to get scratches like Talica. Just saying :)).
10 years warranty on the Talica.
Had one loved it, I can’t believe I sold it. But I have two VISXs to fall back on. Going to get the new Twin Power SW 8000 with that cash. Biggest thing I caught was a shark about 6-7 feet. He didn’t stand a chance in low gear.
Are they going to come out with a left hand
It's a beautiful reel.
not rigging with mono top shot?
Hola sirve para pesca de costa en agua salada para lance? Gracias
I love my shimano speedmaster II,half the price as the talica.
this is beast
Snapper and AJs. Was a friends rod, but it was really nice
what pound line do you recommend for this reel? Thanks
I have Accurate and Avet reels paired with blackfin rods
My favorite reel hands down I have 4 I use the 16s for king fishing and the 25s for anything else you won’t be disappointed
What rods do you use for your king set-up
@@royschwartz3422 7ft chaos kc 15-30
I love mine, mostly use for deep dropping. used it shark fishing off the beach the last two weekends as well. love the line capacity. Wish my wallet did too.
It's only money
Can you with it?
Why I went with the hxw raptor
Caught an 186lb yellow fin tuna on an talica 30 out of Vince la …beast of a reel
I’m in love
Love this reel, very great quality. THE ONLY problem is that if you don’t guide the line properly it can be cut off from that bar across the line spool if it gets too stacked up if not guided with your thumb.
That's with any conventional reel....
@@RLbacker19 I know a lot of them do have that but after it cost me a trophy I realized that some don’t have that bar and I see why. Getting hooked on a 250+ BFT and the reel starts screaming it’s hard to guide that line perfectly while reeling in, it just so happens that the kid at the tackle store over spun my reel with line just to charge me more $ so that was the main factor in my opinion.
Saludos a Cpt Chris....I met Cristobal a few weeks ago in Miami, bought a TLD 30 from him lol.
Dude I fished a 100 lb swordfish with a Talica 50II a week ago, hand cranked it for almost an hour, great reel. I loved it because it has faster gearing than the Tiagras
What class rod is that you are using ?
Hey Mike,would tht butt work on any rod?I have a chaos rod ?
We caught a Wahoo, Sailfish and a Black Marlin of 100kg on the same day with these reels!
Can I ask how much that rod and reel costs?
@Reelrod what kind of Rod are you guys using with this combo..I like it and would like to get my hands on one...
Biscayne Rod
You guys prefer the long or short Winthrop Terminator butt?
Awesome video but some additional real-life fishing-scenes would be great.
What size Winthrop butt did you use for the combo, 2 or 4?
2
What is your opinion on the shimano speedmaster?
I love mine. I have the 12 and it was just pulling in 30 plus inch red snapper no problem
I was on the fence but I ended up going for the accurate boss valiant both great reels
I'm in the same boat. Thinking of the talica 25 or the bv2 1000
@@peteryang5331 what is your target species?
@@floridafishermanpace798 100lb -200 bluefin tuna
@@peteryang5331 I’d go bv then. It is better IMO for raw power and chunking scenarios while the talica is more of a finesse scenario real like trolling bait and switch for billfish
Lol I jus got one of these. Can’t wait to use it. Is that j braid u got on it?? If so we got the exact same line on it lol. Now I jus gotta get the same rod and we’ll be matching 😂😂
Diamond Braid
@@ReelReports sheesh I should had got that on mine as well
@@ReelReports I have this same reel and building some rods. When spooling with braid, what is your set up if you end up using it to troll? Or kite? Do you re-spool?
What brand of 80 lbs braid did you use?
Diamond Braid
what rod did you combo that talica up with?
Custom Biscayne Rod
A near perfect copy of Accurate reels. Gotta love a good knockoff
Hi Team, what exact rod model and butt are you using? Thank you!
Biscayne Rod with a Winthrop terminator butt.
@@ReelReports thank you!
@@ReelReports good video. I installed a talica 25 II on a #2 Winthrop terminator butt. It seemed that the bolts on the reel seat could be longer. Did you see any issues with this?
Is the 25 too heavy for vertical jigging for tuna?
It would be big for school and medium sized tuna. Most people I know jig tuna with the 12. But the Talica 25 can beat tuna over 100”.
I want one please
Tell me the Rods or give a website to get 1 plz
Biscayne Rod in Hialeah FL
I had a 20 and didn’t like it. The makairas are much better..jmo
Avet all the way
Seriously try Avet. Made in America.. Anyone else agree?Anyone try to buy American products before gear from overseas? just curious.
We have avets. They are great reels.
I’ve noticed it’s completely lopsided how much Chinese and Japanese equipment is advertised on many popular fishing sites. I think our local companies Like Avet and United Composites should be front and center.
I own 3 avets. An ex50, a jx raptor , hx raptor and a single speed lx. Ive owned them for four yrs and still in love with them.
@@danielsalas9770 I also have 3 Avet reels and landed 7 bluefin tuna last season, they worked flawlessly.
Captain is a title, not a name. 🙃
Only Brits can organically call it "me talica"
It’s hard to beat Shimano. I have a talica 12, I use it for everything from snook to tarpon. Great reel
I have the 16 I’ve got big muttons,aps,gags , cudas & reef donkeys !!!!!!
Buy alot of extra handles for this reel they break off for the fun of it.
👀 Really?
Bimini twist is a waste of time.... Uni, GT and Palomar are the only knots you ever need...Tight Lines!!!
$660. -- pricey. Go Penn and save better than $300 USD
Too expensive sadly
Kinda cheating?
Radar, sonar, GPS, radio, on board satellite weather, outriggers, kites and a multipurpose reel is kinda cheating?
We’re okay with kinda cheating sir.
Tallicas are junk. Broke 4 of 7 on one trip. Go penn
That’s just not true penn is worse all around nothing significantly better about anything on them and all there reels feel like bricks
Don’t ever say that again. Bastard !
@@randybeltran6607 for this size the visx are way bette reels
@@meleciohernandez4826 don’t be sad because you wasted your money on this
@@peterk814 I’ve had both the penns don’t last a year. If you’re a weekend warrior either will work for you but I’m a charter captain and have tried both the penns are junk only penn reels I have that have lasted are senators. But your definitely one of the people that only use stuff made in the US so I know I can’t change your mind good luck with your cheap reels. Edit: Older internationals are great too but not better than tiagras.
Cringy how americans call themselves captains cause they have a 6 pack ticket hahaha
