Shimano TLD20 Reel / TackleDirect Rod Combo
This combo is a multi-purpose inshore mid shore live bait trolling and bottom fish combo. Its the perfect inshore combo for Striped Bass Bluefish Snapper Grouper and assorted bottom species. Excellent Mid shore combo for targeting pelagic species like sailfish wahoo. King mackerel tuna and dolphin....TackleDirect TDSSUT601MHSB Custom Rod Description:Precision blend of graphite and fiberglassStainless steel frame aluminum oxide turbo guides and tip topSuper tough solid tip constructionTextured shrink vinyl grip and graphite hooded reel seatTough epoxy double thread wrapsMachined aluminum ball gimbalShimano TLD20 Reel Description: You dont need a big boat to catch big fish. In fact theres absolutely no reason why you couldnt catch a 250-pound thresher shark from your 20-foot center console boat. Unless you left your TLD at home. If you own a small fishing boat or you often find yourself elbow-to-elbow with your angling compatriots on the large party boats you need a reel thats both nimble and versatile. Our TLD reels are light in hand so easy to shift theyre almost mindless and theyre adaptable to any number of bluewater species from tuna to striped marlin. And because theyre built by Shimano durability is an inevitable part of the package. A large private ocean-going vessel may be neat but its not necessary. Just match the tackle to the situation. And let the fish fall where they may.An $8.00 oversize packaging charge applies to this item as it ships in a long heavy duty tube to protect your items. This fee will still apply when discount shipping coupons are used.

Great rod for trolling stripers, tuna, and mahi here in the NE. Great backbone that can handle almost anything I throw at it. I will be getting a few more to round out my trolling set.

I recently purchased 4 of these TLD 20 Combos for my new boat. I intend to use them as general purpose trolling rods for everything that swims from 0 to 30 miles offshore and they seem to be perfect for that. The Shimano TLD has a great reputation and the Tackle Direct rod seems well built compared to similar priced rods.

The guys in store were helpful and spooled it up with line for me just how asked them. I wouldn't recommend these as canyon trolling gear but I have confidence I can catch anything from stripers to tuna with these combos. Overall I would say these are a well priced workhorse trolling rod.
Best combo without breaking the bank.

For fishermen like me, who only get to make offshore trips 6-10 times a year, this combo is perfect. This combo has pulled in 30lb wahoo and numerous dolphin between 25-45lbs. I highly reccomend it!
Great combo
