You don't need a big boat to catch big fish. In fact, there's absolutely no reason why you couldn't catch a 250-pound thresher shark from your 20-foot center console boat. Unless you left your TLD at home. If you own a small fishing boat, or you often find yourself elbow-to-elbow with your angling compatriots on the large party boats, you need a reel that's both nimble and versatile. Our TLD reels are light in hand, so easy to shift they're almost mindless, and they're adaptable to any number of bluewater species from tuna to striped marlin. And because they're built by Shimano, durability is an inevitable part of the package. A large, private, ocean-going vessel may be neat, but it's not necessary. Just match the tackle to the situation. And let the fish fall where they may.

The Shimano TLD is a reel that I have used and enjoyed over the past 20 years. I have purchased 6 TLD's and had to repair only one, and it was very minor. They are all still in service. I find them to be rugged and dependable, fishing the waters of San Francisco, Mexico, and now in Panama. Big fish do not intimidate a Shimano fisherman! While I have not tried out my new TLD30II 2 speed reel, I am looking forward to more success in the second week of January 2013.

This reel is absolutely awesome! It comes extremely well greased in the box and is incredibly smooth. The drag works excellent and is very smooth. It has ample line capacity which is awesome. It is extremely durable and you can feel how well built this reel is - would definitely recommend!

Bought another TLDII to fill out the lineup, my 2nd TLD 20. The 20 is probably the best in the series as far as ergonomics. With Spectra backing you have ample room and power to fish 40 or 50lb for any tuna under 100lbs. Unlike the 30 which is where the reels width starts to create side to side torque as you reel under pressure from a fish, the 20 is narrow and does not hit you hard with the side to side torque. Like all tldII the drag is super smooth and never misses a beat. Light , easy to use with a now classic look

Hesitated in buying at first, but know well Shimano Quality, durability. Glad I went with them. Meets my needs for a long time to come!
I use my tld on every trip other to target those hoodlem kings or troll the game fish groundsVery comfortable and strongDefinitely recomend this peoduct
I have never been disappointed with any Shimano products and this reel is no exception. I was looking to get a two speed lever drag but didn't want to spend too much. I am extremely happy with my decision. I primarily use this reel for shark fishing and trolling for wahoo.
Really impressed with these reels so far. Customer service was super helpful with getting them spooled with the mono I wanted.
Awesome salt water trolling reel. I put 750 yards of 80 lb braid on it with a shock leader for Wahoo trolling. I like Shimano reels, especially the two speed reels.
Great service with speedy delivery. Didn't return a marlin on first trip out but I guess I can't blame that on the FC or the reel.
Reel has very smooth operation and appears well-built. Drag is excellent. Changing speeds is simple. Love this reel!TY TDirect for the super fast shipping.
