You're right steve, its physically dam hard to run that much drag off the rocks. I only fish 8kg max of drag on my tld25 and even 8kg feels like alot off the rocks]]> Wed, 14 Feb 2007 21:21:55 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18804&PID=252290&title=tld-30-vs-tld25#252290 <![CDATA[TLD 30 vs TLD25 : BA, no worries with the 30&#039;s...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18804&PID=252179&title=tld-30-vs-tld25#252179 Author: Bigfishbob

BA, no worries with the 30's on 80lb (think about the construction compared to things like a big Senator or 6/0 or 9/0 reel), certainly wouldn't subject the 25 to it though.
 
Worked in a tackle shop in the early 90's when the tld 20's and 25's first came out, a few of them were coming back at thta stage with stripped gears. Seem to have solved that problem since then.

fark my boss got a 302sp and rod brand new from rebels very expensive it was at $380 seems they like to move stuff thats sat in the shop for a while.
 
plonker was saying about the disintergration of his 25, personally never seen it happen, and he says it was with just 15kg so makes you wonder if his was a buggered one from the strt made on a monday or a friday by a worker either wanting to go home or pissed about being there on a monday.....
 
my thoughts are this i hear guys now putting say 80lb braid on these reels etc, are they designed to take it?
 
are they then designed to handle the huge drag put on them under load of say the 80lb drag setting, JK was comparing the drags 22 and 33lb guys if you can handle that sort of dag either in a boat or especially the rocks then you da man cause i have trouble with my 80's on 12k of drag and thats in a seat.
 
the tld's all of them come with the reel clamps etc, strongley suggest that using them is the way to go,
 
 it is added support for the reel in general, the only reel i have seen poo them selves have both been penn and the other a 6/0 daiwa not that i know alot about reels etc bt working in the industry a few years back was a real eye opener to reels and rods falling to pieces through no real fault of the owners, have to say that a Tiagra 80 is not infalable to pooing it self as my younger brother brought a few of them, 1st trip over the bar hooked up and the reel seized inside, what did they say when he took it back "you must have taken it apart and filled it with grease" yip he must have done, what a croc.
no reel is 100% really just some are alot better than others
 
the 25 for me is the bees knees have got some very good fish on them from marlin to kings and sharks, yip they get hot but what reel wont? maybe the duel with its oil bath set up inside?

To be honest I've only just started trying out braid from the bricks this season.
Haven't really had anything really big just kings up to just under 17kg.
Laying the line on hasn't been any trouble but I always wear gloves.
I've found that being in such close contact to the fish I really can't give them an inch and I feel like I get more tired than some of the fish on a long fight .
As for bust offs all of mine have been on the top shot so I cant really comment on the abrasion resistance of it. I've looked over the braid and it all looks pretty healthy after about 5 months.

where did you get the specs for the reels?]]> Sat, 10 Feb 2007 10:49:25 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18804&PID=250979&title=tld-30-vs-tld25#250979 <![CDATA[TLD 30 vs TLD25 : Plonker - Ive heard of seats/mounting...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18804&PID=250962&title=tld-30-vs-tld25#250962 Author: JK

I use to own a TLD25 till a Yellow Fin riped the frame off the seat with 15kg mono.

Got a TLD30 and it's a lot better setup  the frame has metal rods running though it and is heaps stonger and as bob said the two speed is great.
