Product Description

SHIMANO 102VK HANDLE (TGT1620)

Restore Your Talica’s Cranking Authority

The Shimano 102VK Handle (TGT1620) is the genuine OEM replacement handle assembly designed specifically for the single-speed Shimano Talica lever drag reels. Engineered to handle the immense torque required when battling pelagic species, this assembly features a rigid, cold-forged aluminum shank that eliminates flex under load.

The handle comes pre-assembled with Shimano's signature ergonomic power knob, providing a secure, non-slip grip even in wet conditions. If your original handle arm is bent, corroded, or the knob bearings have seized, this factory-original part will restore the smooth, powerful winding performance your Talica was built for.
