Tica fishing rods have a special place in my heart. My father handed my son (his grandson) his very first fishing rod, during the winter of 1997. That rod was a Tica spinning rod, designed exclusively for freshwater lakes and other tributaries. My son was so excited when he landed his first ‘brownie’, that the entire ride back from the lake was spent talking about that famous fight.
That same Tica fishing rod, which landed one the most important fish of my son’s (Troy Lee) fishing career, still waits patiently in the corner of the garage for his return. The lessons that he learnt by using that very first Tica freshwater rod, has lead him to titles in the world of fishing tournaments, and more importantly, taught him a great lesson about value and quality.
Tica Fishing was founded in Taichung, Taiwan in 1965. The former name of the company, Ever winner LTD, began producing machined parts and athletic equipment for the industrial and sports related industries. Before long, the Tica brand was born, and the world of freshwater fishing has never been the same! Tica’s reputation is a sparkling one and many fishing professionals and fishing review companies rank Tica as one of the top 10 most admired and respected freshwater rods in the fishing industry today.
Tica has long been seen as one of the most innovative freshwater fishing rod companies in the world. The ‘cybernetic frame concepts’, which are unique to Tica, provide a blended- balance and superior performance. Regardless of whether the day of fishing is calling for big northern pike, or if it’s picking a fight with a big-old rainbow, Tica will have a rod that meets both of those fishing challenges.
Everyone loves a great day on the lake or the river and this is made possible with some of the best freshwater fishing rods in the industry today. Whether its 20 degrees below zero or a balmy 95, having the right tools and equipment to do the job is what Tica is all about.
The most popular and truly amazing rod in the Tica family is the ‘TC Spinning’ rod. This all graphite blank is a tough customer and comes with everyone’s favorite cork grip and real stock! That’s a great characteristic of the entire Tica rod since improved performance starts off with a firm grip on the rod even when it’s wet. This is why cork is seen as a much better substance to use than other grip-rubber and hardened, slippery plastic. The goal is to create a rod that both accentuate the fishing experience while also producing the most fish. The feel of the TC Spinning rods are sensitive, yet they can stand up to the toughest battle.

The name Tica means quality and when you wrap your hands around any of the Tica fishing rods, this quality will be felt with every cast. The world of freshwater fishing rods is filled with so many companies stating superiority and mega-achieved industry awards, yet in retrospect, the only advertisement that matters, is quality on the water.
Tica fishing rods truly deliver that quality. Just ask my son, Trey.
