Shimano TLD 2-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reels

The Shimano TLD 2-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reels are one of the most trusted and proven offshore trolling reels ever built. Designed for serious offshore fishermen who want dependable performance without spending premium big game prices, the TLD II series delivers lightweight power, smooth drag, and true 2-speed capability for targeting tuna, sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi, wahoo and more.

Why Anglers Trust the TLD Series

For decades, offshore anglers have relied on the TLD series for its durability and value. The graphite frame and sideplates reduce overall weight, allowing you to fight the fish instead of battling heavy gear. This makes the TLD 2-Speed an excellent choice for stand-up trolling, chunking, and anglers building their first offshore spread.

Key Features

• Lightweight graphite frame and sideplates – reduces fatigue during long fights
• Aluminum spool and top bar – adds strength and rigidity under heavy load
• True 2-speed gearing – shift from high gear for line pickup to low gear for maximum torque
• Smooth lever drag system – delivers consistent pressure throughout the fight
• Clicker on left sideplate – for reliable strike detection
• Ergonomic rubberized handle – secure grip in all conditions
• Harness lugs standard – on all models for stand-up fishing

Built for Real Offshore Conditions

The TLD 2-Speed reels are built to handle serious offshore conditions while remaining comfortable and easy to manage. The 2-speed gearing allows you to shift from high gear to quickly pick up line, to low gear for maximum torque when a tuna sounds deep. That extra power can make the difference between a quick fight and a long grueling battle when targeting larger offshore species.

Outstanding Value for Offshore Performance

Whether you're getting started in offshore fishing, building a trolling spread on a budget, or looking for lightweight 2-speed conventional reels that can handle serious fish, the Shimano TLD 2-Speed Reels are an outstanding value. With proper care and maintenance, these reels will provide many seasons of reliable offshore performance.
