My Second Shimano Baitrunner Reel
Size: 12000 Color: Multi-Color
My first Shimano Baitrunner reel lasted over 8 years and helped me catch numerous yellowfin tuna and other pelagic species. The drag system on this bait runner D reel is just as smooth and very reliable. It easily handled the strong runs from a 13 lb yellow fin tuna I caught from my kayak. The bait runner system is outstanding! ... show more

Great workhorse, but check for quality initially.
Size: 15 Color: Multi-Color
Been using this reel for about a year and couldn't be happier with the performance. This is a solidly built, and beautiful looking reel. I've used it to pull in King Salmon, Halibut, and Lingcod out of the SF Bay Area. Even after a year of good use its still in tip-top condition and will surely keep bringing in many more fish for me over the years. I originally got this reel after going on a fishing charter and using it there. The charter was run by a commercial halibut fisherman who has been doing his craft for 30 years. He swore by this Shimano reel, and I can see why now. Customer Note: I just recently bought a second TLD-15 reel from Amazon, and after spooling the line on it, I realized that the lever drag was not doing its job. The drag was just not holding, and the line was almost free-spooling even with the max drag set. Definitely test your reels asap after buying to make sure you're not getting something with a potential defect. Maybe choose to buy it locally instead if you're not a skilled fisherman yet, so you can get it spooled and tested at the shop first properly ... show more

Best Reel One Will Ever Own- Beyond Smooth, Drag Excellent, Casting Capability Beyond None
This is absolutely the best reel one will ever own. If anything it is over engineered. Compared with Van Staal VR series and outperforms it- bar none. The action is the smoothest ever. The drag is easy to set, and casting is a sheer delight. Paired it with a Shimano Trialejo 2-Piece 11-foot Surf Spinning Rod and am more than impressed at distance, and ease of casting. Furthermore, there is no play in the body what so ever, so all power in reeling in is transferred directly to the reel- as advertised. The only thing I did not like was line capacity, however with 30-lb Power pro one get 225-yards, which is more than enough. Worth the cost for those looking for a top of the line reel. ... show more
