Any thoughts on Shimano TLD reel? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

have a few shimano lever drags and they are indeed work horses. The graphite can be the weak link but if fished within the design you will have a light reel with a beefy drag system. don't expect to be casting chovies with them. If you found a decent price on one i would go for it. Also shimano has a good support network so parts should not be a problem. Cheers
