Shimano TLD 20

For over two decades, the Shimano TLD range of reels has been a mainstay in the Australian fishing market. There probably isn’t an offshore fisherman who doesn’t own a TLD reel.

The TLD series of fishing reels is one of the most versatile lever drag overhead reels out there. The Shimano TLD 20 Fishing Reel is one of the most popular model in this series. Best suited for light to medium tackle fishing.

Shimano TLD 20 reels are very easy to operate that even a newbie will feel like a pro in no time. All you have to do is to place a thumb on the spool, flip the lever back to the ‘free’ position and let the Shimano TLD 20 do its magic.

The lever drag system is a breeze to use pre-set your strike drag before you go fishing and no matter what you do (move from free spool or max drag) throw the lever back in to the position and your drag is set at the value you started with.

The TLd range of fishing reels from Shimano are popular amongst offshore fisho’s and can even be used on the rocks to live bait for big pelagics. Designed for big and fast fishes like small marlin, sails, mackerel, wahoo, yellowtail kingfish, yellow fin tuna, albacore, cobia and so on, this reel would never let you down.
