i rekon the tica reels are just as good as some of the more well known brands they have a smooth wind and good castability(is that a word?):confused:

[pete s]

it is now geoff:D :D :D

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.

Try this company:
http://www.minibearings.com.au/

They have bearings of every size as the name suggests. Make sure you get Stainless steel.

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:D

Another I liked was the newish Diawa Samurai - a 7bb reel around the $100 mark, no worm drive though but still pretty flash;)

Cheers,

Hey thats funny.
I gave up on my tica, and bought the samuria a week ago. It is a great reel and i got it for $80!

[peter bear]

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.:mad:
The reel sstill works but it makes a lot of noise and needs very regular servicing which frankly i cant be bothered with.:rolleyes:
The samuria only comes witha 12 month warranty.:mad: Spewing, it had better last coz i like to look after my reels and hope that they work well in return!!!:D

kingpin: do you have any info about the shop where your granddad got your reel from?
the reason why im asking is i have a friend who visits singapore quite frequently and hes going to try and fing me a biomaster when he goes there in a couple of weeks :D

cheers

Sorry Evan
I have no idea
I'm gonna try and score a free holiday with him on his next trip to asia so i can stock up on fishing gear. Tokyo here i come!:D
Its cool coz my uncle is also a QANTAS captain and he can also get me fishing gear.
Handy hey!!!!

G'day everyone
i have just brought a Tica Libra 2500 a few days ago:D, 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):rolleyes:
Tica reels are alright in my book:D definately in the top 5 brands

Cheers Matt

matt this sitre is built on honesty and be honest u didnt buy a new reel it was jimmy and u have never owned a stradic
honesty is the best policy.

I bought Libra 2500 recently on a whim as it was going cheap. $139 from memory. My bye of the year, possibly the decade. So far it's been great. My fishing mate is now thinking of getting one himself. It just erks him to think he will be paying more for his than I did for mine. Don't you love it when the cards fall in your favour.
