[QUOTE=HowieGee;743179]This is the first Shimano Spinning reel I ever bought. I have been extremely impressed with their offshore conventional reels.....the TLDs. They beat my Penn Internationals Hands Down and cost a third the price.
The charter guys in West Palm all use TLD 25s for Sailfish. I fish off Tony Risso's 46 Hatteras and took 3 Sails, one estimated at close to 100#. We never weighed any as the rules are the fish never comes out of the water. The mate gets the fish to the leader and it's considered a catch.
In any event, I too, was impressed with the reels. I fish Calcutta 400 in the surf and on my boat but this was my first experience with the TLDs
