Shimano TLD TLD20
The TLD and TLD II are two tried-and-tested classics that have been popular for many years and can hold their own against any competitor. The range includes models suitable for saltwater trolling, bottom fishing or jigging, whilst the smaller models are also very popular with freshwater anglers targeting the largest predatory fish. Shimano TLD reels are lightweight, versatile multi-reels at an incredibly affordable price. Whilst they do not possess all the features of the more expensive models, their effectiveness (with or without a two-speed gear system) makes them extremely attractive to virtually every angler. For beginners and price-conscious fans of multi-reels, the TLD is exactly the right choice. Thousands of anglers worldwide can attest to its quality and effectiveness.
The TLD range is based on a reliable graphite composite frame, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, complemented by a stainless steel gear system. Inside are four high-quality stainless A-RB ball bearings, as well as a roller bearing, ensuring the durable aluminium spool runs smoothly in all situations. The smaller TLDs with a single-speed gear ratio can be used for a variety of techniques with braided or monofilament line in both saltwater and freshwater, whilst the larger TLD II models (2-speed) offer greater drag power and are better suited for trolling for the largest and strongest fish.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
