Talica drag curve

[mak1]

Hi
What is the drag curve like on a talica 50. I will be running 25lb at strike what will I have at full. Will the drag be all or nothing when I go up towards strike or will it be slowly progressive

Will the brass gears hold up if used for bluefin in the 200-500 range

Thanks all

The Talica will hold up!

the smaller talicas are pretty good.  not sure about the talica 50.  i've actually never played with one before.

Women's All Tackle world record Swordfish (795lb) was caught on a Talica 50. They will hold up.

EDIT: The stock cam is not progressive at all

What is your meaning of not progressive

( It come on fast )

[boon]

I should have said it is not linear. It ramps rapidly as you go to Strike.

among the many reels I own I also have a Talica 50. I modified the CAMs with those supplied by Bill Buckland of Fisherman's Center, a amodest expense of 40 dollars

I'm shocked that Shimano has not gone after them to stop the sell of a mondified part like they did with other custom parts like the drag pressure plate for the TN40/50 reels. Buy them while you can.
