I've never heard of the Tica brand fishing equipment, so I looked them up. They began in Taiwan and migrated to Thialand. I wish they would send me a reel to try out. But, i'm not terribly big on Spinning reels. I have an Okuma CD30 I use for chunking and live baiting, but that's about it. It's very efficient and has a live bait feature that works very similar to how the spool release on a bait caster does. I'm partial to Penn, Abu Garcia, and Okuma. (if you can't tell) I've used and abused all sorts of different type and style reels related to those manufacturers, and they have never failed on me. That alone makes switching to a different reel a challenge when I know I can go to one of the three brands I mentioned above and get flawless function. Please keep us updated on how your Tica reel performs. Thanks
