Shimano Talica BFC / Platinum Hook TDPSTSC663050SIC Billfish Combo

The ultimate rod and reel combo for high stakes bill fishing scenarios, the TackleDirect Platinum Hook / Talica 20BFC Tournament Billfish Combos are the epitome of high performance. The TackleDirect Platinum Hook Tournament Billfish Rods feature top of the line construction and a distinguished custom rod feel that will have you well equipped for targeting species like sailfish and white marlin. These high performance billfish rods are the result of stringent “on the water” design and testing by some of the finest sport anglers around the world. The durable E-Glass blanks feature a softer, more parabolic action that leads to a higher percentage of quality hooksets and less pulled hooks when targeting sailfish with circle hooks. The heavy duty Fuji SIC Guides are perfect for use with lighter monofilament lines. The unique handle configuration of a Winthrop Epic Butt and premium quality cork foregrip is comfortable to fish, with and gives the rod a one-of-a-kind styling. Accompanying these perfected billfish rods is Shimano’s Talica 20 BFC Lever Drag Reel. These reels have the ultimate reputation among tournament anglers as the one and only billfish reel when big checks are on the line. The TAC20BFC features a blazing fast retrieval speed for up to 60 inches of line recovery per crank, which is exactly what you need when speed demons like sailfish decide to change direction on a dime. The large spool holds plenty of 20 or 30lb test monofilament, while the widely adjustable drag curve maxes out just where you want it to be for this type of fishing. With a set of these high performance billfish combos on board, tournament anglers can fish with confidence knowing they have the just the right tools for the job.
