After filling the spool with 65# braid, I set the lever drag to max setting to check free spool. The spool spun easily for 9 secs. This should be perfect for fly lining small live baits like anchovy and sardines. The drag is also very smooth. Cannot speak as to longevity yet as to how it will hold up over time.

I sold my Talica 16 and purchased the 12ii. It is basically the same reel with a smaller line capacity. It is much easier to reel it when under load than the 16 because of the narrower spool.

I have Talica 10, 12, and 16. My wife got them for me and the guys are jealous. I’m blessed with the 2speed power I need to handle all types of fish with the Talica Series.

The reel performed well for me,cannot say anything bad with it, a little heavy but it’s expected with a high quality reel.
