  • Reel advice

    Daiwa Salist STTLW20HA (levelwind).
    Shimano TLD 15.
    Are these two reels if put side by side more or less the same size.
    Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught

    Would like to thank everyone for their input. Now armed with all the information so freely given I can now come to a more educated decision on which reel to purchase.

      Hi, The Diawa weighs 16.2 oz and the Shimano weighs 16.5 oz, i've never seen the 2 reels side by side but i would inagine there won't be a great deal of difference in size and going by past experience i would go for the Shimano TLD15.....Hope this helps........

        Dont buy a Penn, dont buy a Penn, if you do buy a Penn dont expect to ever get it fixed or hear back from the "main dealers" ow did i mention dont buy a Penn.

        Salist if you have the cash, last you a lifetime

        Shamano tried and tested good reel.

            Been using Shimano Charter Special 2000 for the last 2 years, cant fault it at all,great for shadding, very similar to Tld 15 but with level wind.

            Good luck,
            Russell

                    Mmmmm Star Drag or Lever Drag
                    Level Wind its a Must Have.

                    Using a Penn 320GTI/310GTI At Present
