Shimano make great fishing tackle especially reels, from applying their expert gear-engineering skills from bicycle manufacturing, plus is an outdoor sport.
I love that they share product names between cycling and fishing (e.g. the mid-priced range of reels and cycling groupsets are 'Ultegra')
Shimano reels are the best I dumped Penn and switched everything over. I’d like to add a Talica to the collection.
I love their group sets and a 1x11 blew my mind during covid. I was always used to 3x setups and I don’t think 1x’s were around when I was a kid.
