The Shimano Talica 20 BFC Overhead Reel is engineered for serious tournament billfish anglers who demand performance, precision, and reliability. Designed from the ground up as part of Shimano’s elite Billfish Concept range, this high-speed lever drag reel delivers an incredible 60 inches of line retrieve per crank, making it ideal for high-speed pitch baiting and switching when seconds count.

The Talica 20 BFC pairs ultra-smooth drag performance with a lightweight, highly rigid Hagane body, reducing flex and improving cranking efficiency during the heat of battle. A minimum of just 3lb of drag at strike prevents accidental break-offs during aggressive runs, giving anglers maximum control while fighting bluewater predators like sailfish and marlin.

Its compact frame, 2-speed gearing, and ergonomic handle design make it comfortable for extended use, whether you're fishing solo or on the tournament circuit. Backed by Shimano’s cutting-edge technology, the Talica 20 BFC is the pinnacle of high-performance game reels.
