Advice New boat reel

[Tomthewelshie]

Hello all,

Right I’ve got a slosh 30 that il be using on an uptider but I want a reel to go on the downtider now.

I’d quite like a lever drag but I don’t have a massive budget ( it won’t be used enough to justify spending mega bucks.

I have seen a shimano TLD 15. Any thoughts?

Would this be suitable for Bristol Channel fishing? Il be loading it with 50lb braid. It seems like it would also be capable for tope etc down west wales eventually.

Thanks

Well if you pop back, TLD's are fantastic reels & the 15 perfect for the channel.

Thanks mate that’s what I ended up going for! I really like it, it’s a bit old school looking which I like and just feels like it will last a long time.

I used to fish out of Illfracombe a lot, use a TLD20 on my Conoflex Patriot 50lb rod if going for big stuff,
but for 90% used a Charter special TL200 on a 20lb Penn wave blaster.
