Shimano Talica 20 BFC Overhead Reel
Shimano Talica 20 BFC Overhead Reel
The Shimano Talica 20 BFC (Billfish Concept) is the pinnacle of compact 2-speed lever drag reels, engineered specifically for modern offshore game fishing applications. Designed with performance and reliability in mind, this reel excels in pitch baiting, live baiting and trolling scenarios when targeting powerful pelagic species.
Built on Shimano’s proven Talica platform, the 20 BFC delivers an ultra-smooth and powerful Cross Carbon drag system, capable of handling long, demanding fights against hard-running fish. Whether you’re working a teased-up marlin or presenting a bait to free-swimming pelagics, the reel provides the control and consistency needed in high-pressure situations.
While the Talica 20 BFC offers excellent casting performance, it is not designed as a traditional casting reel. Instead, it is perfectly suited to short, controlled pitch bait presentations—ideal for targeting billfish and other bluewater species at close range.
Constructed with a cold-forged Hagane body, the reel delivers maximum rigidity and strength, ensuring optimal gear alignment and durability under load. Internally, Shimano’s S-ARB bearings provide smooth operation while enhancing corrosion resistance for long-term reliability in harsh saltwater environments.
The 2-speed gearing system allows anglers to instantly switch between high-speed line pickup and low-speed cranking power, giving you the versatility to react quickly during a fight and apply maximum pressure when needed.
Designed to take full advantage of modern braided lines such as PowerPro Hollow Ace, the Talica 20 BFC can also be spooled with monofilament or a braid-to-mono top shot depending on your fishing style and target species.
From billfish to tuna, kingfish, mackerel, wahoo and sharks, the Shimano Talica 20 BFC is a serious offshore reel built for anglers chasing performance without compromise.
