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.

Best bang for your buck
Reel = everyone knows they've been around forever. Just a solid durable reel, nothin fancy just works.
Rod = Not too beefy, good bend. I wish it was 6' for fish at boat side but you just gotta back up a little to get fish to gaff.
Great combo
great quality rod and reel.
Great combo for the price!!
They worked great on several larger sharks 10 foot pluses. Also caught several grouper and amber jack . The drag worked great and the rods also performed really well. We realised almost all the fish. Thanks again Dave.
Great tolling setup
Perfect for Dolphin trolling
<span>Hi JD, The Shimano TLD 25 is a non level wind conventional reel. Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with. Tight Lines. </span>
I would recommend spooling this with 50lb PowerPro or 30lb mono for stripers.
This combo is not a 2 speed
This combo could definitely handle tarpon and kings, but you may want a reel that has better castability.
TLDs are only made in right hand retrieves.
This combo would definitely do the job, but typically we would recommend an all metal reel Such as a Talica BFC or Torium for sailfish as they can put a beating on your drag and reels themselves.<p>But this is a very solid, versatile combo for most insho
This combo would be ideal for small to medium sized tuna.
I would recommend the Shimano TLD20 Reel / TackleDirect TDSSUT661MHSB Custom Rod Conventional Combo for the application you will be using the rod for.
