    Re purposed Talica.....shame Shimano have moved away from hard anodizing to a propriety " EI surface treatment" its not very scratch resistant, I ended up having a Talica 2k spray painted and then giving it to my younger brother.....

    The old “ foot falcon” of reels... bet ya diawa is a lot smoother...more rigged with better gear alignment... torque and a price that reflects advancements in reel technology :)
