The Shimano Talica 20 BFC is built for anglers who demand elite offshore performance without compromise. Designed around Shimano’s Billfish Concept (BFC) platform, this premium lever drag reel combines exceptional casting performance, immense cranking power, and ultra-smooth drag pressure for serious bluewater fishing.
Originally developed with billfish in mind, the Talica 20 BFC is equally at home targeting tuna, kingfish, wahoo, mackerel, sharks, and other hard-fighting offshore species. Whether trolling, live baiting, pitch baiting, or casting at bust-ups, this reel is engineered to perform when it matters most.
A cold-forged HAGANE body delivers incredible rigidity and strength under heavy load, while Shimano’s proven Cross Carbon Drag system provides smooth, reliable stopping power throughout extended fights. Premium S A-RB bearings ensure corrosion resistance and long-term smoothness in demanding saltwater conditions.
Built to maximise modern braided line systems while still performing beautifully with monofilament or topshot setups, the Talica 20 BFC is a true premium offshore weapon.
