TLD 15

Im looking to get a new overhead for light deepwater fishing, jigging, trolling and the tld 15 looks good for the job, if you have or owned a tld 15 could you tell me about (cost, performance ect) or recommend any other good overhead reel

If you do any more than the very occasional jig, then go with something with an infinite anti-reverse, otherwise it gets annoying pretty quick. A saltist for example would only be about $70 more (its not lever drag though, so if you do a lot of trolling, a LD reel might make more sense - depends on the proportions of types of fishing though).

How light is light btw? What line do you want to run?

reel choice

David, the TLD's are good reels when used in the correct line class. The TLD 15 (15lb) & 20 (20lb) Great for lighter work ie mono 10kg but using heavier line especially braid can give it longterm gear wear.

If your going to braid, look at a reel that is more suitable for longterm. In the lower price area look at Pflueger Contenders ie the G30L size, slightly larger but more suitable. They have S/S gears, strong L/Drag system, large adjustable fighting hangle, large rubberised fighting knob etc. More suitable for braid/jigging/bottom bouncing & trolling etc (all in one reel) and cheaper than the TLD's also.

PM us if you have any more questions.
