The exact high and low ratios vary by Talica A model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhich Shimano Talica A size should I choose?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eStart with the line capacity and drag requirements of your offshore setup. The 12IIA and 16IIA are smaller and lighter, while the 20IIA, 25IIA, 40IIA and 50IIA progressively increase capacity and, depending on model, maximum drag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does Infinity Drive do during a fight?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eShimano's Infinity Drive design reduces side-load pressure and produces up to 40% lighter rotation during high-drag situations. The practical benefit is easier winding when the reel is under significant load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eCan the Talica A be set up for lighter line systems?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
