go for gold

neptune · 11-01-2006, 01:41 AM

the TLD of course, because when you get spooled and toss it overboard you won't feel as bad as tossing over the gold one

swordfish123 · 11-01-2006, 02:45 AM

Tiagra. Absolute 100% no doubt.

Metal -vs- Plastic

TLDs are good reels for trolling, bottom, etc... but for swording... I've heard too many "broken reel" stories in the past year to trust a plastic reel, even if it is some sort of graphite composite. Go for the Tiagra.

Was not on a high horse. And I answered the question!!! Just seems to me that if you are in the fishing bus. or even just fish, you could come to an easy conclusion probably just by the price difference that the tiagra would be a better reel, not even looking at material . But to each his own.

Might be different asking which is better Tiagra or Avet or Alutecnos or Penn...see my point....oh well probably not :lol: Seemed like a shamelsss plug to get his # out IMO

Sorry to roughen some feathers, but I thought it was a legit question from me. Now that I have the answer , TIAGRA once again ALL the WAY!!!

Peace

Flatsfish B · 11-01-2006, 12:12 PM

On a side note, I agree, the way he asked the question was silly, "which is better"

Are you asking if a tld will work for swording? Or how much better? Or what are the advantages?

Sorry off my high horse

Uncle Buck · 11-01-2006, 02:31 PM

Must take a lot of :high to get a horse high.

Jared Chasteen · 11-01-2006, 03:47 PM

I think that the tld(50wlrs) and the tiagra are good reels. I hooked into my only sword(damn darkside addiction now) on a tld 50 and was prob happy that it wasnt heavier,since i was fighting stand up. That being said i think the tiagra has a little more cranking power. Those tiagra 50wlrs sure are heavy though. I only own three offshore reels 2 of them tiagra 50wlrs, that i bought for swords.

Love the site, wish we didnt have to travel 70 miles in 3-4s to get to the swords here in texas. You all have it easy

neptune · 11-01-2006, 07:19 PM

no one saw the humor in my reply, the TLD is not made for heavy work, if fact Shimano tech rep says the harness lugs are not for assisting the load on the rod just to stabilize the reel :shock: but given a choice as to which to toss overboard connected to a real rod and real, the thought of tossing over a new Tiagra just doesn't sit well. So maybe the answer is fish 80W and be done with it.

reefling · 11-01-2006, 10:25 PM

tiagra it is cant wait to get out there.

thanks
