The Shimano Talica 50 II 2-Speed Overhead Lever Drag 37kg Reel and Shimano Abyss SW 5'6" 50lb Adjustable Butt Game Rod are engineered for serious offshore anglers targeting large game fish.
The Reel: Shimano Talica 50 II 2-Speed Overhead Lever Drag 37kg Reel
The Shimano Talica delivers a high-speed, castable lever drag that has become a favourite of sports fishers around the world due to its compact physique and high capacity versatility.
A tool for the fiercest warriors of the sea!
TALICA is a lever drag reel for big game fishing and trolling. The "2-speed lever drag" allows the angler to switch between high and low gears during use. A push of the button switches to low gear, giving the angler the advantage in a fight with a big fish. The S compact body with an ultra-precise one-piece frame is equipped with a drag mechanism with a built-in CARBON CROSS WASHER waterproofing system, which is smooth, tough, and reliable. Combined with the E.I. treatment that greatly improves corrosion resistance, the highly rigid body with no distortion provides an unlimited sense of security. Not only functionality, but also strength. Function and strength, combined with the latest high compact performance, are the driving force to break records.
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.

The Rod: Shimano Abyss SW Overhead Game Rod 5'6" 50LB Roller Tip withRoller Tip and Adjustable Butt
Purpose built for those heading over the horizon to battle the largest offshore species.
- Features a Neptune adjustable butt that changes from straight to bent at push of a button!
The Shimano Abyss SW offers new Zealand anglers a range of offshore rods capable of taming even the largest game fish encountered in the depths of the ocean. At the heart of the Abyss SW is a T45 blank. Built by rolling graphite tape at a linear 45-degree angle and reinforcing it with two sheets of graphite rolled at opposing angles, the blank of the Abyss SW achieves a significant reduction in weight while maintaining incredible hoop strength and sensitivity.
To compliment this robust construction the Abyss SW game rods utilise only the best components. Heavy-duty Fuji SiC and SiN guides have been used throughout the range to ensure optimal line management even under extreme load. While the grip assembly of the game fishing models has been upgraded to feature an innovative adjustable butt giving anglers the option to fish them in straight or bent butt configurations at the push of a button. The Shimano Abyss SW game rod is set to reinforce its formidable reputation as the go-to choice for experienced offshore game fisherman looking for a reliable tool to get the job done day in day out.
