Shimano TLD: The Revolutionary Shimano Reel
When it was introduced, the Shimano TLD revolutionized saltwater fishing by its lightweight graphite lever drag. Even today, you will discover that it is extremely hard to find a reel that overshadows the great Shimano TLD. Despite the fact that other reels have been trying to keep up and top this Shimano Reel’s innovative features, the Shimano TLD still remains one of the, if not the, most popular reel for sport fishing.
The Shimano TLD is a conventional reel made for offshore fishing. Currently, there are three models available in the market: TLD 15, TLD 20, and TLD 25. All three models have the following features:
o 4 stainless steel ball bearings
o Up to 200 percent more drag surface area than older design star drag reels
o Stainless steel reel foot
o Pre-programmable lever drag range
o Stainless steel pinion gear and main shaft
o Stainless steel drive gear
o Power handle with oil-ported torpedo knob
o Loud click strike alarm
o Exclusive Shimano water shielded drag
o Fast, powerful retrieve ratio
o Exclusive ball bearing titanium drag
o Strong, one-piece lightweight graphite body
o Lever drag for casting, trolling, and live bait fishing
Amazed already? Wait, there’s even more to be astonished about. Shimano has reinvented the TLD with a Two-Speed Shift Gear button. This two-speed gear allows you to change from high speed to low speed, depending on your catch. To change to low gear, just press down on the low gear shift button with your thumb. With the low gear in use, you can reel in bigger and heavier fish because of the additional cranking power. If you want to shift to high gear, tap the ‘Push High’ button with your index finger so that you can lure fish rapidly, continue putting tension on a catch, and pick up line while backing down a fish. Yes, it’s that easy. Everything is just a push of a button away. This Shimano Reel, called Shimano TLD 2-Speed, stands in a class of its own. No other reels in the market can rival the brilliant engineering that was put into the Shimano TLD 2-Speed.
Among the conventional Shimano Reels, the Shimano TLD Reels occupies a unique niche as a lightweight and nimble offshore fishing reel. Its solid, one-piece graphite body lends to its lightness while anti-rust bearings and stainless steel gear prevents corrosion. It is ideal for trolling because of its light weight and easy manageability. You can also use it for live bait fishing. Your bait can run unrestrained as the click strike alarm maintains enough tension or resistance on the spool. The Shimano TLD can be used for casting as well. The drag design on this reel allows for 200% more drag surface than previously released star drag series reels. This translates to the application of friction to greater surface on the spool than older star drag reel designs. It’s just a simple equation- more surface area, more friction. More friction, more drag. The Shimano TLD’s versatility and durability are testimonies to Shimano’s engineering and design quality.
