✔️ Effortless Cranking
One of the standout features of the Shimano TLD 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel is its seamless cranking capabilities. Thanks to its two-speed gearing system, anglers can switch between high and low gears with the touch of a button. This allows for quick line retrieval and powerful cranking when battling larger species. The handle's ergonomic design also contributes to a comfortable and efficient cranking experience, reducing fatigue during long fights.
✔️ Built to Last
Durability is a key consideration for any fishing reel, and the TLD series excels in this area. The frame and side plates are constructed from a special blend of graphite and aluminum, offering a lightweight yet sturdy base that resists corrosion. This makes the TLD reel ideal for saltwater fishing, where gear is frequently exposed to harsh conditions.
✔️ Advanced A-RB Bearings
Shimano’s proprietary A-RB bearings set the TLD reels apart from the competition. These stainless steel bearings are specially treated to reduce the possibility of rust and corrosion drastically. The result is a reel that spins smoother and lasts longer, even after repeated exposure to saltwater. This technology ensures that each cast and retrieve remains as smooth as the first.
✔️Lever Drag System
The lever drag system on the TLD reels allows for precise control over the drag pressure, enabling anglers to adjust precisely according to the situation. This feature is crucial when targeting larger fish that require a delicate balance between drag and line strength. The system is intuitive and easy to manage, even for those new to lever drag reels.
✔️ Versatile Line Capacity
Whether you prefer mono or braid, the TLD reels can handle various line types and strengths thanks to their high-capacity spools. This versatility allows anglers to tailor their setup based on their target species and fishing conditions. This makes the TLD series suitable for many trolling and deep-sea fishing applications.
