New reel i think

[northeast1]

Well after complaints from the crew this year about the noises from my war beaten reel and the fact the gulls trying to mate with it as it sounds like a birds mating call i have decided to look at a new boat reel.

Looks like it will be a new tld 15 or 20 or maybe a penn 330 loaded with 30-40lb fireline braid.

Mind the two penn reels i have have never been looked after at all and after about 6 years of being used and beaten to hell they still do the job no bother.

Anyone found any problems with the tld 15-20's? not heard of anything so far.

Hi Coddy

If i'm lucky sante might fetch me a charter special 2000 or Tld 15.

Can't decide weather to do without the levelwind and go for the tld 15 or keep it and get a charter special.

My old man (lol) recently got a tld 15 and it seems a canny bit of kit.

Had my mighty abu 7000 with levelwind a fair few years now tho, so it's got a lot to live up to.

Must admit the shimano tld looks in a different class to my abu, for boat fishing at least.

TLD15 everytime!!!

the charter special comes with a level wind, thats a big plus for me. I am looking for a new reel after me okuma 30 fell to bits after one trip. one thing it did have which was canny was the mag brakes which slowed the drop down a bit which i felt stopped me worrying about overruns when fishing braid. i tend to switch off at times and just let it go down full pelt. does the lever drag peform the same function of slowing down the drop ?

The Charter Specials have a braking system as well thats why they can be used for uptiding as well

i have the bigger Charter Special as well... best boat reel ive had by far...

i dont think you can go wrong with a Shimano Lever Drag, or a Penn Boat reel. they all seem quality kit.
