looking to get a talica reel but not sure what size to get... anyone have a recommendation on the most versatile set up? Id like to get one that's light enough for snapper but can handle AJs and some tuna

Talica 20. I personally use & love my 20 for exactly the use you are describing. I even use the talica 20 for chunking for tuna and have found it to be very capable at this task. The only change i would possibly make is upgrade to the larger handle for the Talica 20. Plenty of line capacity if you go with a major braid spool.

The 16 and 20 are the same reel guts, only difference is line capacity, and the 16’s don’t have the rings to hook into a fighting harness. IDK if 25’s have different drag/retrieve speed. We have caught lotsa GOM yft on the 16’s and 20’s and have never worried about getting spooledby 150#+ fish. Keep drag between 19-21 lbs. Clickers on reels for some reason frequently malfunction and need repair/replacement.
