| hi jiggers i was wanting to know if anyone has used a talica 12 single speed for mechanical jigging and what there thoughts were weather they`re heavy or too slow, handles`too short or they`re great because i`m after something too jig with and maybe live baiting in mind aswell |

They dont have an anti reverse bearing on the main gear, so the handle has some back play, this will drive you mad when mechanical jigging.Im not a fan of the propietry treatment used on them either as its not very robust in comparison to standard anodizing treatment. Fantastic reel for live baiting, trolling , pitchbaiting.......... ------------- "I love standing by the ocean and just knowing what its for" |

Shimano range for jigging, the trini or jiggers are better. Personally like star drags for jigging. And all the things you said. Weight handle etc ------------- I always tell the truth about things that never happened |

Hey mate, Have you used one of these? you are right about no a/r bearing but they do have 3 anti reverse dogs. all set at slightly different increments so tolerance for back play is fairly tight and most people have never even picked up on the difference between a reel with a infinite bearing and the talica with out - well done! I've used one for 4 years and love it. I personally rate it higher than the Ocea Jigger (have had both) thats purely my opinion of the 2 not going into details as to why as they are both great just my preference to use the talica 12 ------------- I'll act my age when im 69 |
