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?)

it is now geoff

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

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!

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!!!

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

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!
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, 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
