Thumbs up TLD's

Sails and kings you are fine w/ the Tld's. Bottom fishing demands a lot more torque. The drags on the Trinidad and the avets will give you alot more umph, when combined w/ a stout rod. If comfortability is truly the issue, spinning reels have come a long way and many have lots of line capacity and super smooth drags able to easily whip sails and kings. Personally I'm a fan of the Thunnus bait runner, but there are many other fine choices. I've learned to ask lots of questions and read up on the specs of the reels I purchase. The old addage about you get what you pay for holds true here as well, just make it a point to figure out why one is more expensive than the other and if that reason is one that fits your fishing. Your question is too broad . Are you looking for more speed, more torque, more durability, or just more flash Narrrow it down and everybody will pile on
