The Reel:
The equivalent of a Soviet tank cross Ducati motorcycle - the all new Talica delivers a high-speed, castable lever drag that will fast become a favourite of sports fishers around the world due to its compact physique and high capacity versatility. A one-piece cold forged (for extreme strength) and machined Aluminium frame is treated with a proprietary surface process for cutting-edge corrosion protection. Shimano then added a lightweight cold forged aluminium spool, oversized HEG (High Efficiency Gearing) gears, waterproof carbon drag system and 6 S-ARB bearings for super slick operation.
Capable of ultra-high drag pressures, the carbon drag system has been waterproofed (when engaged) to handle big sea sprays and splashes which become inevitable when fishing the stones or offshore dropping jigs.

- E.I. Surface Treatment for extreme corrosion protection
- Cold-Forged and Machined Aluminium Frame & Spool
- Topless Design (no obtrusive crossbar)

The Rod:
Covering all areas of jigging with 22 items in the lineup. A ‘global’ rod catering to the whole world. The Grappler BB is a rod you can bring across the whole world. With high cost performance, the Hi-Power X blanks eliminates any discomfort resulting from high twisting loads. This is crucial in off shore games as both power and response is improved, even when applying aggressive jigging styles or fighting larger species. Since the Grappler BB is a global rod, Shimano wanted to make it as convenient to carry around as possible, resulting in all 22 items being 2-piece rods, with a bend profile almost similar to 1-piece rods. Whether it’s speed and power for jigging, or versatility in in-shore games, or the charming slow jigging which uses slow and fall actions, there is without a doubt a model for you in the Grappler BB lineup.
