Fishing Reels for All Anglers

Shimano Talica A Two-Speed Lever Drag Reels are built for the moment a strong fish sounds and a single-speed reel runs out of answers. Push-button shifting gives you high-gear line pickup when a tuna runs toward the boat, then low-gear leverage when the fight turns deep and heavy.

The six-size lineup covers SoCal bait fishing, yo-yo iron, sinker rigs, flat-fall and knife jigs, kite fishing, trolling, and long-range saltwater. Match the reel to the line class you actually fish, then use the size guide below to choose the capacity you need.

Two Speeds for the Part of the Fight That Gets Hard

High gear helps you recover line quickly, work a surface iron, and stay connected when a fish changes direction. Low gear gives you more leverage after a fish sounds under the boat. You can shift under load without backing off the drag, which is the advantage that separates this family from a single-speed conventional reel.

What the Talica A Redesign Adds

Models & Size Guide

All six listed sizes are right-hand retrieve. Use the size, line-class, and technique guidance together rather than choosing by fish name alone.

Line Capacity Reference

The following PowerPro capacity figures are confirmed in the current listing. Capacities are shown as line weight/yards.

Best Species, Techniques & Conditions

• Bluefin and yellowtail: Sinker rigs, flylined sardines or mackerel, and yo-yo iron.
• Deep-water jigging: Flat-fall and knife jigs around 200–400 feet, especially with the 20IIA and 25IIA.
• Kite and trolling work: The 25IIA, 40IIA, and 50IIA for heavier offshore presentations.
• Trips: Catalina and Channel Islands runs, 1.5-day and long-range boats, private sportfishers, and Baja saltwater trips.

The Right Pick If...

• You want both fast line pickup and low-gear cranking leverage.
• You fish bluefin on a sinker rig and need a reel that can handle the turn from open water to deep pressure.
• You want a 12IIA or 16IIA for lighter tuna and yellowtail work, or a 20IIA and up for heavier long-range applications.
• You prefer a lever drag with an included light-line cam for more gradual pressure on lighter line.

Tackle Express Tips

• Set strike drag with a scale: Roughly one-third of your topshot's rated breaking strength is a sensible starting point for bait fishing.
• Shift before you are exhausted: Move to low gear when the fish stops running and starts circling, rather than waiting until the rod is fully loaded.
• Protect the reel after the trip: Rinse with low-pressure fresh water, back the lever off for storage, and service the two-speed mechanism regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Talica A size is best for bluefin tuna?

The 20IIA is the lineup's practical starting point for many bluefin sinker-rig applications. The 25IIA adds more 65 lb. PowerPro capacity for longer-range work, while the 12IIA and 16IIA fit lighter 30 lb. class fishing.

What is the difference between the Talica A and older Talica II?

The A series adds Infinity Drive, Cross Carbon Drag, X-Protect water resistance, and an included Light-Line Drag Cam. It is a mechanical redesign rather than a cosmetic update.

Is the Talica A available in left-hand retrieve?

No. All six listed Talica A sizes are right-hand retrieve.

The Shimano Curado BFS (Bait Finesse System) expands the Curado lineup of low-profile reels while redefining finesse fishing for tournament anglers. Inspired by the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), the Shimano Curado BFS baitcaster utilizes an ultra-lightweight shallow spool designed for thinner diameter lines to allow anglers to cast lightweight lures more effectively than traditional low-profile models.

The Curado BFS incorporates Shimano's Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system to reduce the spool's weight by moving the braking unit from the spool to the palming side-plate. The result: the spool takes minimal force to turn and allows anglers to effectively cast lightweight tackle.

Unlike traditional magnetic brake systems that maintain the same drag on the spool throughout the cast, Shimano's FTB capitalizes on the cast's centrifugal force and the magnetic brakes automatically adjust to slow down the spool only when braking is needed. Fully adjustable, anglers can fine-tune the FTB with the external dial or by adding or removing individual magnets as needed. The perfect antidote for picky fish, the Shimano Curado BFS is the ideal tool for anglers to downsize baits to increase their success on the water.

The Accurate Tern 2 is the evolution of one of Accurate's most popular conventional star drag reels. It keeps everything that made the original Tern a go-to for saltwater anglers — lightweight aluminum frame, smooth operation, genuine castability — and adds TwinStarDrag® (TSD) technology, a first in the star drag category. If you fish kelp paddies, rocks, or offshore structure and want Accurate-grade drag performance in a star drag format, the Tern 2 is the benchmark.

Why the Original Tern Needed an Upgrade

Single-sided drag systems heat up and lose consistency under sustained pressure. The original Tern performed well, but Accurate's engineers applied the same dual-sided drag philosophy from their lever drag lineup to develop TwinStarDrag® — applying stainless and carbon fiber washers on both sides of the main gear simultaneously. The result is smoother, more even pressure, better heat dissipation, and higher maximum drag without the star getting notchy under load.

What's New in the Tern 2

• TwinStarDrag® (TSD) — first-of-its-kind dual-surface drag in a star drag reel; smoother and more powerful than single-sided designs
• Main Gear Bearing Support (MGBS) — patent-pending system that reduces gear flex under load for smoother, stronger operation
• Xtreme Casting Technology® (XCT) — side spool tension adjustment and centrifugal control for clean, long casts with minimal backlash
• CVX® curved frame technology — 6061 T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum, lightweight and rigid
• Stainless steel gears — corrosion-resistant, built for full saltwater exposure
• 6 ABEC 5 bearings — ultra-smooth retrieve
• Side spool tension adjustment — fine-tune spool brake for your bait weight and casting style

The Right Pick If...

• You want Accurate's TwinDrag® performance philosophy in a star drag reel without stepping up to a lever drag
• You're targeting yellowtail, white seabass, tuna, or any species requiring consistent drag pressure on a conventional setup
• You fish offshore or nearshore and need a reel that can cast iron as well as soak bait
• You're upgrading from an entry or mid-level star drag and want a premium, USA-assembled option

Best Fishing Techniques

• Live bait (sardines, mackerel, squid)
• Iron casting / metal jigs
• Bottom fishing and dropper loops
• Slow pitch jigging (lighter models)

Best Conditions

• Kelp paddies and island fishing
• Nearshore and offshore saltwater
• Rocky bottom structure for bass, sheephead, and lingcod
• High-current conditions where casting accuracy matters

Best For

• Yellowtail, white seabass, and bluefin tuna
• Striped bass and inshore pelagics
• Anglers stepping up from mid-level star drag reels who want Accurate quality and TSD technology
• Versatile anglers who need one reel that casts iron and fishes live bait

Key Features

• TwinStarDrag® (TSD) — dual-sided main gear drag, first of its kind in a star drag
• MGBS Main Gear Bearing Support — patent-pending, reduces gear flex
• XCT® casting technology — centrifugal + side tension adjustment
• CVX® aluminum frame — 6061 T-6, lightweight and strong
• Stainless steel gears
• 6 ABEC 5 bearings
• Side spool tension knob
• X models: 6:1 gear ratio (standard models: 5:1)

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• The TXD-400X is the sweet spot for most kelp and island live bait fishing in Southern California — enough capacity for 50 lb braid, light enough to cast iron without fatigue, and 24 lbs of drag for when a solid yellowtail shows up.
• XN models (500XN, 600XN) have a narrower spool than their X counterparts. They hold less line but balance better on a shorter, lighter rod. If you're fishing 50 lb and don't need maximum capacity, the XN will feel more natural in hand.
• Use the side tension knob to dial in spool brake before switching between iron and live bait. A few clicks tighter for casting iron reduces backlash; back off slightly for live bait to let the fish run without feeling unnatural resistance before hookup.

FAQ

What makes the Tern 2 different from the original Tern?
The Tern 2 adds TwinStarDrag® (TSD) technology — a dual-sided drag system on the main gear — and the new MGBS Main Gear Bearing Support system. Both are upgrades that deliver smoother drag, more consistent pressure under load, and better durability compared to the original single-sided design.

What's the difference between XN and X models?
The XN (narrow) variants have a smaller spool with less line capacity but a more compact, lighter profile. They're ideal when you don't need full capacity and prefer a better-balanced reel on a medium-weight rod. The X models hold more line — better for deep water or when you're using heavier braid.

Can I cast iron with the Tern 2?
Yes — and this is one of the Tern 2's strengths. The XCT® system with side spool tension adjustment was specifically designed to make conventional reels more castable. It's not a baitcaster, but for conventional iron anglers used to thumbing a reel, the Tern 2 casts noticeably cleaner than comparable star drag designs.

A low-profile baitcasting reel built around an aluminum CT (Compact & Tough) frame, the Daiwa Fuego CT 100 delivers durability and performance at an accessible price point. The aluminum CT frame provides the rigidity needed for precise gear mesh and long-term durability, while the Air Rotation system delivers a silky-smooth, effortless retrieve by reducing rotor weight and rotational inertia. 

What sets the Fuego CT apart is the MagForce Z cast control system — a centrifugal-magnetic hybrid that automatically adjusts braking force throughout the cast. As the cast begins, the spool's inductor cup retracts from the magnets for lightning-fast spool start-up with no magnetic drag. As the spool approaches maximum speed, the inductor cup automatically moves into the magnet gap to apply smooth magnetic braking and prevent overrun. As the spool slows, the cup retracts again — allowing the spool to keep spinning longer, unhampered by magnetic braking. The result is longer, more manageable casts with dramatically reduced backlash risk.

Key Features

• MagForce Z Cast Control — Centrifugal-magnetic hybrid system automatically adjusts braking force throughout the cast; lightning-fast spool start-up, smooth mid-cast braking, and extended spool spin-down for maximum casting distance with minimal backlash.
• Aluminum CT (Compact & Tough) Frame — Rigid aluminum frame provides the structural integrity needed for precise gear mesh and long-term durability; more rigid than graphite frames at this price point.
• UT Drag (Ultimate Tournament Carbon Drag) — Oversized carbon drag washers deliver maximum fish-stopping power; consistent, smooth drag pressure for confident fish fighting.
• Air Rotation — Reduced rotor weight and rotational inertia for a silky-smooth, effortless retrieve; improves sensitivity and reduces fatigue during extended casting sessions.
• Low-Profile Design — Compact, ergonomic low-profile body sits comfortably in the palm for all-day casting without fatigue.
• Three Gear Ratios — H (high), HS (high-speed), and XS (extra-speed) to match your technique and preferred retrieve speed.
• Right & Left Hand Available — Multiple models available in both right-hand and left-hand retrieve.

Model Selection Guide

• FGCT100H — High (Right Hand): Standard high gear ratio for versatile freshwater bass applications; covers a wide range of techniques from slow-rolling swimbaits to moderate-speed retrieves.
• FGCT100HL — High (Left Hand): Same high gear ratio as the 100H for left-hand retrieve anglers.
• FGCT100HS — High-Speed (Right Hand): Faster gear ratio for burning lures, fast topwater, and applications where increased line recovery speed is needed.
• FGCT100HSL — High-Speed (Left Hand): Same high-speed performance as the 100HS for left-hand retrieve anglers.
• FGCT100XS — Extra-Speed (Right Hand): Maximum gear ratio for the fastest possible retrieve; ideal for burning lures, fast topwater, and situations where maximum line recovery speed is critical.

Best For

• Freshwater Bass — Aluminum CT frame, MagForce Z cast control, and three gear ratios cover the full range of freshwater bass techniques from finesse to power applications.
• Versatile Casting Applications — MagForce Z's automatic braking adjustment makes the Fuego CT forgiving across a wide range of lure weights without manual brake adjustment.
• Left-Hand Retrieve Anglers — 100HSL and 100HL left-hand models available for anglers who prefer left-hand retrieve on baitcasting reels.
• Value-Conscious Anglers — Aluminum CT frame, MagForce Z, and UT carbon drag at $129.99 deliver premium technology at an accessible price point.

The Accurate Valiant VT2 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel is the workhorse of Accurate's offshore lineup — a full-featured, USA-made conventional reel designed for anglers who need serious drag power, two-speed versatility, and a lightweight frame that won't wear them down over a long day on the water. From yellowtail and tuna to wahoo and large offshore pelagics, the VT2 is built to handle whatever you put it up against.

When One Speed Isn't Enough

On a single-speed reel, you're locked into one retrieve rate regardless of the situation. When a fish reverses direction or surges toward the boat, you either crank faster or lose ground. The VT2's DirecShift® two-speed system lets you drop from high gear into low gear instantly — without taking the reel out of strike drag, without losing your fighting position. When a big tuna decides to go deep, low gear is the difference between gaining line and watching the spool empty.

Built on the Valiant 2 Platform

• TwinDrag® system — dual-sided drag pressure on the main gear for smooth, even stopping power under sustained load
• DirecShift® 2-speed technology — seamless high-to-low gear transition without losing drag engagement
• 6061 T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum with CVX® curved frame — lightweight, rigid, made in the USA
• Xtreme Cast Technology (XCT®) — minimizes backlash for a lever drag reel that can actually cast
• 17-4 stainless steel gears with reinforced shaft — high torque under heavy drag pressure
• 8 Class 5 ABEC stainless steel bearings — fluid operation across the full retrieve range
• Drag cam detent — prevents accidental shift to free spool; push-button stop for full-drag engagement
• Clicker — alerts you to line movement on a soak
• Power arm handle — increased leverage for grinding on big fish
• Made in the USA

The Right Pick If...

• You're targeting large tuna, wahoo, or sharks where you need to crank against 30+ lbs of drag for extended periods
• You want a two-speed reel that can also cast — XCT® makes the VT2 more castable than most lever drag reels
• You're upgrading from a single-speed setup and want DirecShift® instant gear switching without fumbling mid-fight
• You need a USA-made reel that holds its value and can be serviced long-term

Models & Specs

Note: Detailed specs for the VT2 S series should be verified at Accurate.com or via your Accurate rep. The previous spec table on this listing referenced BV2 model numbers which do not match these variants.

Tackle Express Tips

• The "S" suffix on VT2 models denotes silver finish — confirm color preference before ordering if your customer has a specific aesthetic in mind for a matched rod-and-reel setup.
• On the initial drop for live bait, use high gear so you can adjust tension quickly. Once a fish is hooked and burning deep, shift to low gear to maintain consistent pressure without fatiguing your wrist.
• Pair the VT2 500S with a 50–80 lb class stand-up rod for bluefin tuna on the rail. The lightweight CVX® frame makes a meaningful difference over a multi-hour drift session.

FAQ

What does DirecShift® mean on the VT2?
DirecShift® is Accurate's 2-speed shifting system that allows you to switch between high and low gear ratios instantly while the reel is engaged — no need to back off drag or stop reeling. It's designed specifically for fighting large, unpredictable fish that change depth or direction mid-fight.

What's the difference between the 600NS and 600N on other Valiant models?
The "N" denotes narrow spool for reduced line capacity and a more compact profile. The "S" suffix indicates silver finish. The 600NS is the narrow, silver-finish variant of the VT2 600 — ideal when you want a lighter, better-balanced setup and don't need maximum line capacity.

Is the Accurate Valiant VT2 made in the USA?
Yes. Accurate manufactures their reels domestically in the USA. The VT2 series is part of that same production line, which is a key differentiator from similarly-priced offshore reels made overseas.

Purpose-built for bait finesse system (BFS) fishing — ultralight lures, light line, and the precision presentations that trigger bites from pressured bass — the Daiwa Tatula BF70 BFS Casting Reel delivers the casting performance and control that finesse baitcasting demands. The A7075 Air Spool is the centerpiece: machined from aerospace-grade A7075 aluminum, it is dramatically lighter than standard spools, minimizing rotational inertia for effortless casting of ultralight lures that would backlash a conventional baitcasting reel.

The full HyperDrive Design system provides the gear rigidity and smoothness needed for precise finesse presentations, while the T-Wing System (TWS) eliminates line friction at the level wind for smooth, tangle-free casting and retrieval on light line. The Zero Adjuster allows precise spool tension tuning for different lure weights without tools, and the Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD) delivers consistent drag pressure up to 7.7 lbs — appropriate for the light line used in BFS applications. The 90mm swept handle provides secure grip and precise control. 

Key Features

• A7075 Air Spool — Aerospace-grade A7075 aluminum spool dramatically reduces rotational inertia vs. standard spools; enables effortless casting of ultralight lures (1/32–3/8 oz) that would backlash a conventional baitcasting reel.
• HyperDrive Design System — Four-part system: Hyper Armed Housing for rigid frame integrity, HyperDrive Digigear for smooth/durable gear teeth, Hyper Tough Clutch for crisp engagement, and Hyper Double Support for stabilized pinion gear cranking power.
• T-Wing System (TWS) — T-shaped level wind eliminates line friction during casting and retrieval; allows line to flow freely through the guide for smoother, longer casts on light line without tangles.
• Zero Adjuster — Tool-free spool tension adjustment system for precise tuning to different lure weights and fishing conditions; critical for BFS applications where lure weight varies significantly.
• Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD) — 7.7 lb maximum drag with consistent, smooth drag pressure; calibrated for the light line (6–10 lb) used in BFS finesse applications.
• Aluminum Frame — Rigid aluminum frame maintains precise gear mesh under load; provides the structural integrity needed for consistent BFS casting performance.
• 90mm Swept Handle — Shorter swept handle provides precise control and sensitivity for finesse presentations; reduces leverage arm for lighter, more responsive feel.
• Right & Left Hand Available — TATUBF70XH (right-hand) and TATUBF70XHL (left-hand) for anglers who prefer either retrieve orientation.

The Shimano Baitrunner D Series is the benchmark in baitrunner spinning reels — engineered for anglers who fish live or cut bait in both saltwater and freshwater environments.

How the Baitrunner System Works

Cast your bait, then flip the lever on the back of the reel to engage free-spool mode. The bail stays closed while your bait swims naturally — no more missed hooksets from a spinning reel that can't close fast enough on a hard-running fish. When you're ready to fight, simply turn the handle and the main drag engages instantly.

Adjustable Free-Spool Drag

The rear dial lets you fine-tune the free-spool tension on the fly. Slow down a large, fast-swimming bait or open up the spool for a lighter presentation — all without touching your main drag setting.

Key Features

• Baitrunner lever for true free-spool fishing with bail closed
• Adjustable rear free-spool drag dial
• Instant main drag engagement on handle turn
• Suitable for saltwater and freshwater live bait applications
• Available in 4000D, 6000D, 8000D, and 12000D sizes
