Great little reels.

I fish thirty spectra on my TLD5 and forty spectra on my TLD10s and have landed fish to fifty pounds on them. Great reel not a good caster but excellent for bait or trolling. I especially like dropper loop fishing with them.

I love TLDs and have every model up to the the 30.

Check out this one I got today.

That's a TLD30 two speed, with a topless aluminium Willfish frame, a Tibron Tib Lite handle, and internally it was upgraded by Coffe, with an oversized drag plate and enhanced freespool.

It's the size of a standard 25 but can fish eighty for Cow tuna.

You'll love that 5, like I said great reels, it has a good of a drag as the Avet, with less maintenance issues.
