TICA Spinning Reel reviews are mainly from Australia and all quite positive. Here are some:
(2003)
"
I have the Sportera baitrunner, and apart from some minor corosion around the crank, it has been an excellent performer. I have used it for spotty Mac outside and spinning for tailor off the rocks. I am very happy with it - but it is no where near as strong as my Baitrunner 4500. I consider it a very good reel for the price I paid."
" ...Just bought a Tica Libra SA 2500 and am very happy with it.
It didn't come with a spare spool, but with 10 ball bearings and a drag comparable to the Penn Spinfishers (not many reels come close), the plus's outweigh the minuses."
Much better bang for buck when compared to Shimano in my opinion..."
"I bought myself a Tica GP3500H.. . Looks good and feels great to handle. Hope it performs as well. Came with spare reel, carry bag and a 3 yr warranty for under $100.
Wifey says it had better catch me some fish."
