Tica Ikura 802 Spin Combo FC2500 Fishing Rod And Reel Set For Shore Anglers With Long Range Casting

Meet the Tica Spin Combo Ikura 802, FC2500 — a purpose-built shore-fishing system that blends advanced rod action with precision reel engineering for long, controlled casts and formidable fish-fighting power.

High-performance rod for long-range accuracy

The Ikura 802 rod is crafted from flexible ultra-high modulus graphite, delivering both remarkable casting distance and sensitive bite detection. With a 2.4 m (2-piece) blank rated for 1–10 lb lines and a cast weight range of 1/16–3/8 oz (2–10 g), this rod excels at placing small jigs, plugs, and EGI squid lures precisely where you want them. The two-piece design keeps travel convenient without sacrificing the action you need for strong, confident hooksets. A 7'11" overall length translates to a balanced, comfortable feel during all-day sessions.

Lightweight, responsive construction

Lightweight, low-profile guides reduce swing weight, making the Ikura 802 incredibly pleasant to fish with over extended periods. The result is a rod that remains nimble and responsive from the first cast to the final fish, helping you stay in contact with even wary targets at distance.

FC2500 reel: compact power with flawless line control

The FC2500 reel brings a precision build and silky-smooth performance at a smart price point. Weighing just 199 g, it uses a carbon frame, rotor, and handle to maximize rigidity while keeping weight down. The 5.2:1 gear ratio delivers rapid, confident retrieves, with nine shielded stainless bearings ensuring a smooth, consistent feel on every turn. A redesigned carbon-drag system provides strong, predictable stopping power up to 5 kg, while a robust line-management system keeps backing knots snug and line lay flat on the spool for clean, accurate casts.

• Smooth, reliable retrieval: 5.2:1 ratio and 68 cm per handle turn translate to quick lure control and rapid coverage of water.
• Precise line lay: Z-Oscillation and a high-quality line roller minimize twists and improve wind-on performance.
• Durability-forward design: corrosion-resistant components, CNC machined handle, and a sturdy power knob for confident handling when a big fish bites.

Pro tips to get the most from your Ikura combo

Pair the rod with 6–10 lb monofilament or an equivalent PE line to maintain balanced performance. For optimum long-range casting, focus on smooth, consistent casting motions and select lures in the 2–10 g range. When fishing EGI, adopt a subtle, steady cadence to entice squid without spooking them. Regularly inspect guides for wear and keep the reel’s drag and line lay clean and lubricated for maximum reliability on every outing.
