Shimano TLD II Two-Speed Conventional Lever Drag Reels

The Shimano TLD II Two-Speed Conventional Lever Drag Reels combine lightweight construction with the gearing, drag control, and line capacity required for demanding offshore fishing. A graphite frame and sideplates help reduce overall reel weight while providing corrosion resistance for saltwater use, while an aluminum spool and top bar add rigidity under load. The lever drag system provides smooth, controlled pressure and allows quick adjustments throughout the fight, making the TLD II well suited for trolling, chunking, live bait fishing, and other offshore techniques.

A true two-speed drivetrain allows the reel to shift between high gear for quickly retrieving line and low gear for increased cranking power when fighting larger fish under heavy pressure. An ergonomic rubberized handle provides a secure grip, while the clicker positioned on the left sideplate provides audible strike detection when trolling or fishing baits. Harness lugs are standard across the series for use with fighting belts and harness systems during extended battles with tuna, billfish, wahoo, and other powerful offshore species.
