mate i use a tld15 with 24kilo. set the drag to what ya "feel" is right and its on. tld15 has same max drag as a 25 anyway, yet to loose a king to my set up every hooked king has resulted in a landed king to date]]> Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:24:18 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52506&PID=749169&title=tld25-issue#749169 <![CDATA[TLD25 Issue? : Photo - Tld30 should be more than...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52506&PID=749167&title=tld25-issue#749167 Author: JohnnyP

Photo - Tld30 should be more than safe i think they are rated to 11kg max at strike and about 15 at sunset]]> Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:20:10 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52506&PID=749167&title=tld25-issue#749167 <![CDATA[TLD25 Issue? : I have got hold of a TLD 30 is...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52506&PID=749161&title=tld25-issue#749161 Author: Photofisha

I would agree straight up Johnny - IMHO those TLD25s are not 24kg reels. Sure you can run 24kg on them but ya wont be able to run the drag to support it for very long. Much better suited to 15kg drag settings and they make a pretty dam good 15kg livebait reel. ]]> Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:00:33 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52506&PID=749157&title=tld25-issue#749157 <![CDATA[TLD25 Issue? : I may be wrong here cal, but i...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52506&PID=749071&title=tld25-issue#749071 Author: JohnnyP

I may be wrong here cal, but i have found on my tld25 that if the grease used inside the pre-set knob is very sticky, the pre-set tends to move forwards just a small amount when the lever is pushed up. It dosnt however move back down when you lower it into free spool, this may explain how the drag has mysteriously increased, loosing free spool.
   Also I found out the hard way that the 25s are not really designed to run more than about 6kgs at strike. I set it to 8kgs and when I put it to sunset, and the scales reached 10kgs, the reel made a slight cracking noise and the drags locked up big time. I had to use the mole grip pliers to un wind the pre-set knob to reset the drag. Once reset I no longer had free spool full stop. So I took the reel apart and it turns out I had shattered the graphite bracket that the main shaft of the reel sits in, in the outside side plate. Thankfully the good guys at Shimano replaced the graphite body of the reel under warranty.  Therefore lesson learnt 6kgs at strike and if i need 8kgs or more of drag I use sunset. 
Im not trying to say this will happen to every 25 out there but it happened to my one so be careful if trying to run big drags on them. The reel has caught 4 good landbased kingies, 3 over 15kgs since then and seems to be running fine. I have also put the tyrnos 30 handle to it making it a much nicer to use. However if I was doing it all again and had enough coin, I  would buy the Tld30 or even the 50 cause they are better suited to 24kg line.
  Just my experience with my reel and everyone may not agree.

The link that Yeenah posted is well worth a look, not only will it show how to strip down and service the reel it also shows a couple of upgrades. The carbon fibre drag washers that he reccommends will last alot lot longer and are far superior than the standard drags. Also changing the bellveue washer configeration will change the drag curve for the better, adding more smooth drag to the reels capabillities, mine now easily  gets 13kg of drag. Also consider throwing away the standard arm and handle and replacing them with a tynos 30 single speed handle. This is a straight swap and apart from being more comfortable allows you to exert more torque.
 I have mine set up with 700 meters of 15 kilo line on a 24 kilo rollered rod for livebaiting marlin, the stiffer rod is due to using about 9-10 kilos of drag across the tip. smooth drag that is!!

very interesting, i can't see a listing for the 25 single speed, but I assume a 30 2 speed's guts will swap with a 25 single's?

The internals are completely different for these two reels.

I wonder what the frame would bring the final weight figure to? Also If with the metal frame and carbon drag upgrade and that oversized drage plate you'd be able to run 200-250m or so of 37kg and actually make use of it, or weather you'd start to destroy some other part, if not that would be quiet the LB kingi weapon for playing with the big boys on those far off remote ledges.
