Product Review

The Shimano TLD-IIA Reels are powerful; light and durable. Each Shimano TLD-IIA reel features Shimano's patented 2-speed shifting mechanism and A-RB anti-rust bearings; along with unique handles to provide comfort and fish-fighting advantages. The A-RB bearings provide the corrosion resistance needed for saltwater use. Anglers will appreciate the cranking ease of the ergonomic Power Handle on the 20 and 30 size reels; and the offset ergonomic Power Grip on the 50 size reels. Construction features on all four reels include stamped graphite frames; graphite side plates; an aluminum spool; a loud clicker and rod clamp. From an angling perspective; every individual who has owned and enjoyed using Shimano tackle has a reason to thank a Japanese visionary named Shozaburo Shimano; who in 1921 declared “I aim to make Shimano's products the best in Kansai; then the best in Japan; and finally the best in the world." For over 80 years; Shimano has concentrated on precision engineering; one step at a time. Creating the most innovative products and processes you can hold in your hand today.
