Had a set of TLD 20s on 30# graphite rods on my boat. Loaded them both with 80# braid. Cranked up the drags to 20#s. Great light weight outfits for chunking. Also used them for flat lining deep diving hard bodies in the typical canyon spread.
These reels took a real beating. Great when chunking as they were as light weight as a baitcasting outfit. And on the troll, they always were in the action because the fish love those deep down hard bodies.
Never had to send them back for service like I had to with the Penn Internations even though they were not rated for the 20#s of drag. These were the best reels for the money for sure.
If I were to build another canyon spread I would use TLD 25s instead, and never purchase a Penn 30 wide again. Just wish they made them larger to knock out the 50 and 80 class reels.
