Thanx guys. They cast very well, and the drag is great. Unfortunately mine was second hand and it appears that the bearings were not looked after.
I might compare prices of new bearings, and a whole new reel. Their good reels for the price and the internals are very simple making for easy servicing! They also come with two spools. |

I checked out the Tica's seriously yesterday for the first time
Being a self confessed Okuma fan I thought they really measured up and the Libra in particular was tops Tiger Another I liked was the newish Diawa Samurai - a 7bb reel around the $100 mark, no worm drive though but still pretty flash Cheers,

good quality lasts plus the warranty was pretty good compared to other reels of higher price brands.

Yeah thats very true.
I was spewing coz i got my reel off my grandad. He travels a lot (i'm in an aviation family!) and got it in singapore. UNfortunately the warranty is no good in australia so i cant get it fixed for free. The reel sstill works but it makes a lot of noise and needs very regular servicing which frankly i cant be bothered with. The samuria only comes witha 12 month warranty. Spewing, it had better last coz i like to look after my reels and hope that they work well in return!!! Dave |

Tica reels rock
G'day everyone
i have just brought a Tica Libra 2500 a few days ago, i packed it with 4bl fireline and put in on an old diawa rod. it is an awsome little reel, 10bb cast perfect and it is so smooth. i reckon it is much better than my old reel (shimano stradic) Tica reels are alright in my book definately in the top 5 brands Cheers Matt |
