Here is a tackle review for a Shimano TLD 20 and 20A. Great, solid heavy boat lever drag reels. Simple and very robust. I hope this helps.
Here are links to both of these reels should you wish to research more:

Tough reel but the most important thing is to dismantle the reel lube up the pinion gear. The reason for that is that the spool slides to the right hand side when the drag is engaged. I do reel service work part time. I serviced four TLD 20's. Two had seized pinion gears to the drag mechanism. I was able to free one but required parts for the second. Totally avoidable. My recommendation is a carbontex drag upgrade. I have the TLD15, Charter Special. As with all Shimano reels they are under lubricanted from new. Buy one then service correctly. Minimal issues. The North Queensland guys love TLDs. Very hard on gear in the hot tropics of Australia .

I own 4 TLD15's and one 20. Love them they are truly tanks and very dependable.

I just got the standard model TLD 20 in a deal where I got a zipplex so I’m happy with that review, cheers locker 👍

Am buying a second hand TLD 20 with a rod tomorrow for only 100 AUD. Thanks to this video, I will be happy with it. I used to always use Penn reels up to 9/0. I reckon that these reels will handle even a small shark.

Great video. right to the point. no BS. I've been using a TLD 25 for over 25 years. If it wasn't such a good reel, they wouldn't still be making them

Have you tried Shimano tld Rod, how is the performance ?

@1boardy 3 жыл бұрын

Cant get a 20 two speed what do you think about a Shimano TLD 30IIA do you think that would be to big for a 30-50lb Shakespeare ugly stick gx2 ???

@a.p.mexico1071 2 жыл бұрын

Shakespeare Ugly Stick Tiger Elite 50-100lb (A true saltwater rod) will be the minimum option. I have the Shimano Tyrnos 30II Dual Speed paired with a Star Rod 65-200lb Extra Heavy Rod. For trolling, bottom fishing or live bait you should be ready if any big fish bite the hook!
