Tica Oxean OX50TS 2 Speed Game Reel

The Tica Oxean OX50TS 2-Speed Game Reel is built for serious offshore anglers who demand precision, power, and long-term reliability from a single core reel. Designed to tackle bluewater challenges, this reel combines rugged durability with refined handling so you can focus on the fish, not the gear.

One-piece graphite frame delivers a lightweight yet rigid platform that resists corrosion in salty environments. This means fewer flex-related losses during a fight and more control when you’re steering a big tuna or marlin toward the boat.

Dual carbon drag plates sit on either side of the spool to deliver exceptionally smooth, linear drag and effective heat dissipation during extended battles. With a maximum drag of 18 kg, you’ve got the stopping power for demanding offshore species without sacrificing line sensitivity.

Two-speed versatility lets you tailor retrieval to the moment. Ratios of 3.2:1 and 1.4:1 translate to retrieval rates of 96.5 cm per handle turn on the high gear and 42.2 cm per turn on the low gear when fully spooled. Switch gears to surge when the bite is hot, or slow the pace for a controlled line release in heavy current.

Six sealed stainless steel bearings provide smooth, rust-resistant performance you can feel on every retrieve. The combination of sealing and precision tolerances keeps alignment precise, ensuring consistent drag, quiet operation, and dependable casting or winding under salt spray.

Flexible line capacity supports a variety of fishing styles. Mono capacity is 850 yards / 50 lb, while PE braid capacity reaches 1000 meters / 37 kg plus a 50 meters / 37 kg mono top shot. This setup gives you plenty of line to reach offshore structure or withstand long, deep runs with high-test lines.

Audible bite detection includes a distinctive line-out alarm, so you won’t miss strikes in choppy seas or when fighting a fish from cover. It’s another small detail that translates to more fish on the boat.

Seasonal versatility makes the OX50TS equally at home trolling for tuna and marlin in summer or pursuing hapuka and broadbill on deep-water bottoms in winter. When the weather shifts, this reel remains a dependable workhorse capable of handling a range of offshore targets.

Warranty and trust—all Tica Oxean reels carry a 10-year warranty, reflecting the brand’s commitment to long-term performance and after-sales support for offshore anglers.

If you’re building a go-to setup for multi-species offshore adventures, the Tica Oxean OX50TS 2-Speed Game Reel stands out with its combination of lightweight rigidity, heat-conscious drag, precise gearing, and rugged reliability. It’s not just equipment—it’s a trusted partner for the bites you’ve dreamed about and the battles you live for.
