Reel recommendations
Anyone have any experience or thoughts about either of these reels? Might want to replace a couple of Penn 114H 6/0's....one definitely needs fixing. I have a Penn80 and 2 Penn 50's so looking to fill in the lower end. Each reel does come in a "50" class.
Daiwa Saltist 2 Speed Lever Drag STTLD30-2SPD (22lb drag, 6BB) ~$275
Shimano TLD 30 2-Speed Conventional Reel - TLD30IIA (33lb drag, 4BB) ~$240
Thanks.

I switched over to TLD 50s for trolling bars.
At least in Cape Cod Bay where most of the fish are 50+" I think 30s are too small. I've caught fish up to 70" on the TLD 50s with no issues at all.

I'd get a few more 50 lever drags, 2 speed not necessary.

I agree, find a couple used 50 wide international single speeds for cheap money, cant go wrong. We got 4 for $150 a peice I think 3 or 4 years ago. |
